%FAT; percent body fat by air-displacement plethysmography.
%FAT(adult); Percent body fat derived using thoracic gas volume predicted from adult-based proprietary equations (developed using Crapo et al. prediction of functional residual capacity and tidal volume constants for males and females) [18].
%FAT (child-specific); Percent body fat derived using thoracic gas volume predicted from child-specific equations by Fields et al. [16].
Dependent variable is percent body fat derived using measured thoracic gas volume.
r; The Pearson correlation coefficient between the regression residuals and the criterion; criterion is percent body fat from measured thoracic gas volume).
P value indicates if the r value is significant and hence, the presence of bias.
SEE; Standard error of the estimate.
