The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the associations between various anthropometric adiposity screening indices and body fat percentage estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). A total of 186 (95 male and 91 female) normal weight (body mass index [BMI] = 18.5- 24.9 kg/m2) young adults (mean age= 20.96 ± 2.03 years) were measured on body fat percentage, body height, body mass, waist and hip circumferences. Abdominal volume index, body adiposity index, BMI, body roundness index, conicity index, reciprocal ponderal index, waist to height ratio, waist to height 0.5 ratio, and waist to hip ratio were calculated accordingly. Results revealed significant gender effects in all main anthropometric measurements. Except for waist to hip ratio, results indicated significant associations between anthropometric indices and BIA in both male and female participants. BIA results were found to be largely associated with BMI and abdominal volume index in both genders. BlandAltman analysis showed good agreements between these indices and BIA. Considerable associations and agreements highlight the potential importance and the use of several anthropometric proxies to estimate body adiposity among male and female non-overweight/obese young adults. Despite continuing discussion regarding its accuracy, BMI seems to be useful for monitoring body adiposity within this cohort.

Agreement in estimates of body fat percentage between BIA and BMIbased body fat equations in female young adults
Altunsoy, Kübra; Söğüt, Mustafa; Kaya, Ömer Barış; Clark, Cain Ct (null; 2019-04-15)
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare body fat percentage (BF%) values estimated with various body mass index (BMI)-based BF% equations and bioelectrical impedance (BIA). METHODS: One hundred and eighty-three female young adults (age=20.5±1.8 years, BMI=21.5±3.1kg/m2) participated in the study. Height and body mass were measured to calculate BMI. BF% was determined by BIA and predicted using BMI-based equations (BMIDE; BMIJA; BMIWO; BMIGA). RESULTS: Dependent t-test results revealed that there w...
Accuracy in body composition assessment with three different methods compared to dexa
Düz, Serkan; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2003)
The purpose of this study was to investigate differences among the percent body fat (%BF) values of Turkish sedentary male and female university students measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), skinfold (SKF), ultrasound (US) and hand to hand bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Two hundred eight Turkish university students (one hundred four males and one hundred four females) aged between 18 to 26 years old participants participated in this study voluntarily. %BF assessment was performed by...
The effects of positive core self and external evaluations on performance appraisals
Güven, Lale; Sümer, Canan H; Department of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (2007)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of core self-evaluations (CSEs) and core external-evaluations (CEEs) on performance evaluations. It was hypothesized that people with higher levels of CSEs and CEEs would be more lenient in their performance ratings, when rating neutral performance. The second hypothesis of the study was that people with higher and lower CSEs would engage more in halo when rating neutral performance compared to people with average levels of CSEs. It was further hypoth...
Anthropometric Obesity Indices, Body Fat Percentage, and Grip Strength in Young Adults with different Physical Activity Levels
Söğüt, Mustafa; Altunsoy, Kübra; Clark, Cain; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; DOĞAN, ALİ AHMET (2019-07-01)
The purposes of this study were to determine whether moderately physically active (MPA) and highly physically active (HPA) male (n = 96, age = 22.5 ± 1.7 years) and female (n = 85, age = 21.3 ± 1.6 years) young adults differed in their anthropometric obesity indices (AOIs), body fat percentage (BF%), and muscular strength, and also to examine the associations between physical activity level (PAL) and the abovementioned variables. Participants were measured for body height and weight, BF%, waist and hip circ...
Association Between Motor Competence and Body Mass Index in Children Aged 10-13
Ceyhan, Aslı; Söğüt, Mustafa (2021-07-01)
The purposes of this study were to examine the association between motor competence (MC) and body mass index (BMI) in children aged 10-13 and to determine gender-related differences in motor competence. Material and Methods: Participants were male (n=59) and female (n=44) children between the ages of 10 and 13 (12.1±1.2 years). Body height and weight were measured and BMI was calculated as dividing the body weight by the square of the body height. 'Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK)' was used to asses...
