TABLE 5.

Percentage exact agreement between percentage fat categories shown in Tables 3 (men) and 4 (women) and BMI, waist circumference (WC), and waist-stature ratio (WSR) categories based on the percentile cutoffs shown in Tables 3 and 4 ¹

	Percentage body fat with BMI	Percentage body fat with WC	Percentage body fat with WSR	BMI with WC	BMI with WSR	WC with WSR
Exact
Men	46 ± 0.7^a	51 ± 0.8^b	53 ± 0.8^b	65 ± 0.8^c	65 ± 0.8^c	71 ± 0.8^d
Women	49 ± 0.9^a	42 ± 0.9^b	43 ± 0.8^b	59 ± 0.8^c	60 ± 0.8^c	73 ± 0.9^d
Within one category
Men	93 ± 0.4^a	97 ± 0.2^b	97 ± 0.3^c	99 ± 0.2^d	99 ± 0.2^d	100 ± 0.1^d
Women	94 ± 0.5^a	91 ± 0.6^b	92 ± 0.6^c	98 ± 0.2^d	98 ± 0.2^d	100 ± 0.0^e

All values are means ± SEs. Within each row, values with different superscript letters are significantly different, P = 0.001 (equivalent to P < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction); t tests were used to test for equality.
