Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the precision and agreement of smartphone-based automated anthropometrics against reference tape measurements. Waist and hip circumference (WC; HC), waist:hip ratio (WHR) and waist:height ratio (W:HT) were collected from 115 participants (69 F) using a tape measure and two smartphone applications (MeThreeSixty<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>, myBVI<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>) across multiple smartphone types. Precision metrics were used to assess test-retest precision of the automated measures. Agreement between the circumferences produced by each mobile application and the reference were assessed using equivalence testing and other validity metrics. All mobile applications across smartphone types produced reliable estimates for each variable with intraclass correlation coefficients \u2265 0\u00b793 (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0\u00b7001) and root mean square coefficient of variation between 0\u00b75 and 2\u00b75 %. Precision error for WC and HC was between 0\u00b75 and 1\u00b79 cm. WC, HC, and W:HT estimates produced by each mobile application demonstrated equivalence with the reference tape measurements using 5 % equivalence regions. Mean differences via paired t-tests were significant for all variables across each mobile application (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0\u00b7050) showing slight underestimation for WC and slight overestimation for HC which resulted in a lack of equivalence for WHR compared with the reference tape measure. Overall, the results of our study support the use of WC and HC estimates produced from automated mobile applications, but also demonstrates the importance of accurate automation for WC and HC estimates given their influence on other anthropometric assessments and clinical health markers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114523000090","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,12]],"date-time":"2023-01-12T06:04:45Z","timestamp":1673503485000},"page":"1077-1087","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Evaluation of automated anthropometrics produced by smartphone-based machine learning: a comparison with traditional anthropometric assessments"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"130","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4520-9230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Austin J.","family":"Graybeal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caleb F.","family":"Brandner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0230-6586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grant M.","family":"Tinsley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clnu.2022.09.014"},{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12887-021-02685-1"},{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007114522003488"},{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0119430"},{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41574-019-0310-7"},{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1370\/afm.1896"},{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3345\/kjp.2016.59.11.425"},{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4066\/AMJ.2013.1576"},{"key":"S0007114523000090_ref11","unstructured":"11.
