	Mean Difference (Mean ± SD)
	BAI and Fat%	BMI and Fat%
Age ≥ 55	−5.2±6.0*	−7.6±7.2
Women	−7.4±5.1*	−13.1±4.4
Men	−3.0±6.0†	−2.2±5.2

Notes: BAI = body adiposity index; BMI = body mass index; DXA = dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; Fat% = body fat percentage.

*Significantly smaller mean difference for BAI and fat% than the mean difference between BMI and fat % (p < .01).

^†Significantly greater mean difference for BAI and fat% than the mean difference between BMI and fat% (p < .01).
