abstract = {Purpose of Review Overweight and obesity are associated to health prognosis. Therefore, body composition assessment is an
important health outcome, especially in adult population. We analyzed the criterion-related validity of existing field-based
methods and equations for body composition estimation in adults aged 19–64 years.
Recent Findings One hundred studies met inclusion criteria. The field-based methods, waist circumference (WC), body
adiposity index (BAI), and body mass index (BMI) are valid to indicate body adiposity. Likewise, several equations, including
the classical Durnin/Womersley equation, Jackson/Pollock equation (males), and Jackson, Pollock, and Ward equation
(females), are valid to estimate total body fat mass or body fat percentage.
Summary Anthropometric field methods can provide a simple, quick, and easy informative indicators of adiposity in adults.
Classical equations, such as Durnin/Womersley equation, Jackson/Pollock equation, and Jackson, Pollock, and Ward equation,
are still valid to estimate total body fat mass or body fat percentage in adult population. When choosing estimation
equations, specific population characteristics, such as age, weight status, or race ethnicity, should be taken into account.
