Reclassification of obesity using different anthropometric measures. Obesity was defined using BMI (by height or arm span), abdominal girth and DXA trunk fat percent as described in the manuscript. Classification by abdominal girth and trunk fat percentage resulted in a significantly increased rate of obesity. Statistical significance relative to conventional BMI (by height) was calculated using McNemar test. BMI, body mass index (kg/m2). DXA, dual X-ray absorptiometry.
