Note: %BF: body fat percentage; FFM: fat-free mass; DXA: dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; BIA: bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Bias: value obtained from BIA measurement minus DXA measurement; SD: standard deviation.

r yy′,y, Pearson's correlation coefficient for the relationship between averaged %BF/FFM [(value of DXA + value of BIA)/2] and the bias.

p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01.
