Abstract

The accuracy of body mass indices (BMIs), such as Quetelet's index, for the definition of obesity was investigated in a large sample of healthy humans. Two hundred thirteen women and 150 men with a wide spectrum of weights, heights, and ages underwent densitometric analysis for the determination of percent body fat (%BF). %BF was then contrasted with various well-established BMIs. Although %BF was correlated with all the BMIs (r = 0.60-0.82), applying objective definitions of obesity based on BMIs or %BF by densitometry often produced conflicting results. It was also found that the 95% confidence intervals for predicting %BF by using Quetelet's index were very wide. Because of the wide variation for individuals between densitometrically determined body fat and body fat as estimated by BMIs, we conclude that BMIs should be used with caution as indicators of obesity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
