(A) Mean signed difference (MSD) by sex in 8- to 18-year-old youth from NHANES 1999–2006. A negative MSD indicates that, on average, the skinfold equation underestimated percent body fat measured by DXA, and a positive MSD indicates that, on average, the equation overestimated percent body fat. (B) MSD by race/ethnicity in 8- to 18-year-old youth from NHANES 1999–2006. A negative MSD indicates that, on average, the skinfold equation underestimated percent body fat measured by DXA, and a positive MSD indicates that, on average, the equation overestimated percent body fat. (C) MSD by weight status in 8- to 18-year old youth from NHANES 1999–2006. A negative MSD indicates that, on average, the skinfold equation underestimated percent body fat measured by DXA, and a positive MSD indicates that, on average, the equation overestimated percent body fat. (D) MSD by age categories in 8- to 18-year-old youth from NHANES 1999–2006. A negative MSD indicates that, on average, the skinfold equation underestimated percent body fat measured by DXA, and a positive MSD indicates that, on average, the equation overestimated percent body fat.
