Two\u2010thirds of the sample was randomized into the equation development group; the remainder served as the cross\u2010validation group. Total body fat was measured by DXA. Measures included weight, height, waist and hip circumferences, and skinfolds (suprailiac, triceps, abdomen, subscapula, thigh, and calf).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: The previously published equation from Dezenberg et al. did not accurately predict total body fat in Latino children. However, newly developed equations with either body weight alone (intercept \u00b1 SE = 1.78 \u00b1 1.53 kg, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05; slope \u00b1 SE = 0.90 \u00b1 0.07, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05 against slope = 1.0; <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.86), weight plus age and gender (intercept \u00b1 SE = 2.28 \u00b1 1.20 kg, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05; slope \u00b1 SE = 0.91 \u00b1 0.05, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05; against slope = 1.0; <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.92), or weight plus height, gender, Tanner stage, and abdominal skinfold (intercept \u00b1 SE = 1.47 \u00b1 1.01 kg, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05; slope \u00b1 SE = 0.93 \u00b1 0.04, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05; against slope = 1.0, <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.97) predicted total body fat without bias.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic>: Unique prediction equations of total body fat may be needed for Latino children. Weight, as the single most significant predictor, can be used easily to estimate total body fat in the absence of any additional measures. Including age and gender with weight produces an equally stable prediction equation with increasing precision. Using a combination of demographic and anthropometric measures, we were able to capture 97% of the variance in measured total body fat.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2003.164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,18]],"date-time":"2008-04-18T14:30:55Z","timestamp":1208529055000},"page":"1192-1199","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Predicting Total Body Fat from Anthropometry in Latino Children"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Terry T.\u2010K.","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael P.","family":"Watkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael I.","family":"Goran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1169","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/35.5.1169","article-title":"Body composition of reference children from birth to age 10 years","volume":"35","author":"Fomom S.
