Table 3.

Paired t-test comparing body fat percent measured by ADP and estimated using Ethiopian and Caucasian BF% prediction equation among the testing sample of Ethiopian adults.

Paired comparison		n	Mean	Std.	P
Pair 1	ADP measured BF%	352	32.38	11.85	0.932
	Ethiopian equation predicted BF%	352	32.35	10.52
	Difference	352	0.03	5.44
Pair 2	ADP measured BF%	352	32.38	11.85	<0.0001
	Caucasian equation predicted BF%	352	25.54	9.78
	Difference	352	6.83	5.57

BF%: body fat percept, ADP: Air displacement Plethysmography, Std: standard deviation.

Caucasian equation: BF% = ^1.294 * BMI ‡ 0.20* Age – 11.4* Sex – 8.0.

Ethiopian Equation: BF% = −8.601 + BMI (1.521) + Age (0.243) + Sex (−10.568).
