AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate agreement of the body adiposity index (BAI) and paediatric body adiposity index (BAIp) in estimating body fat compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and to propose cut-off points for these indices to classify excess adiposity in Brazilian children and adolescents.DesignCross-sectional study. Measures of weight, height, hip circumference, BMI and body fat percentage (%BF) assessed by DXA were taken, and BAI and BAIp were calculated. The Bland–Altman plot was used to estimate agreement between the methods, and the receiver-operating characteristic curve to determine the cut-off points for BAI and BAIp per age and sex in comparison with DXA.SettingViçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil.SubjectsChildren and adolescents aged 8–19 years (n 1049).ResultsOf the children and adolescents, 52·4 % were girls. BAI and BAIp had satisfactory performance by the receiver-operating characteristic curve, except for the 18–19 years age group, whose BAIp had better predictive capacity than BAI. The agreement analysis showed that BAI overestimated %BF by 2·64 %, on average, using DXA; while BAIp underestimated %BF by 3·37 %.ConclusionsBAI and BAIp showed low agreement with the body fat obtained by DXA, requiring caution when interpreting body composition data in children and adolescents.

Body Adiposity

As the obesity epidemic overtakes Africa, practical methods to measure percent body fat need identification. Possibilities which have not been validated in Africans are the Body Adiposity Index (BAI), which uses hip circumference and height and the same formula for men and women, and bioelectric impedance (BIA) derived from NHANES III data and uses different equations for men and women. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans as the reference method, 107 Africans (71% male; age 39.5∓10.3 y, range 22 to 64 y; BMI 27.9∓4.5 kg/m 2 , range 19.7 to 41.2 kg/m 2 ) had percent body fat assessed in two ways. Method 1 was: BAI (Hip circumference/Height 1.5 )-18). Method 2 was: BIA (Men: weight - (-10.678 + 0.262*weight + 0.652*height 2 /resistance + 0.015*resistance))/weight*100; Women: (weight - (-9.529 + 0.168*weight + 0.696*height 2 /resistance + 0.016*resistance))/weight*100)). Percent body fat by DXA, BAI and BIA are shown in the Figure. Concordance was between 0.5 and 0.6 with P <0.001 for DXA and BAI as well as between DXA and BIA. Bland-Altman analyses revealed the BAI estimated percent body fat with a mean difference of 1.1% and limits of agreement of -9.7 and 11.9. With BIA the mean difference was 6.0% and the limits of agreement were -2.3 and 14.4.The BAI and BIA are similar in accuracy, but BAI is easier to apply as it requires only hip circumference and height measurements and uses the same equation for men and women. Therefore, BAI is a superior measure of body fat for both clinical and epidemiological studies in Africans.

Heart Study

Because of its strong association (r 0·85) with percentage of body fat determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, hip circumference divided by height1·5 (the body adiposity index) has recently been proposed as an index of body fatness among adults. We examined whether this proposed index was more strongly associated with skinfold thicknesses and levels of CVD risk factors (lipids, fasting insulin and glucose, and blood pressure) than was BMI among 2369 18- to 49-year-olds in the Bogalusa Heart Study. All analyses indicated that the body adiposity index was less strongly associated with skinfold thicknesses and CVD risk factors than was either waist circumference or BMI. Correlations with the skinfold sum, for example, were r 0·81 (BMI) v.r 0·75 (body adiposity index) among men, and r 0·87 (BMI) v.r 0·80 among women; P< 0·001 for both differences. An overall index of seven CVD risk factors was also more strongly associated with BMI (r 0·58) and waist circumference (r 0·61) than with the body adiposity index (r 0·49). The weaker associations with the body adiposity index were observed in analyses stratified by sex, race, age and year of examination. Multivariable analyses indicated that if either BMI or waist circumference were known, the body adiposity index provided no additional information on skinfold thicknesses or risk factor levels. These findings indicate that the body adiposity index is likely to be an inferior index of adiposity than is either BMI or waist circumference.
