We compare these measures with each other. We also estimate the percentile values of BMI, WC, and WSR that approximately correspond to specified values of percentage body fat. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In NHANES, a representative cross-sectional sample of the US civilian, noninstitutionalized population ...
