title: Comparison of frame size and body mass index methods of assessment in the study of blood lipids.
abstract: This study compared frame size and body mass index methods of assessment in relation to blood lipid levels. The data were obtained from the records of 84 men and 193 women who voluntarily participated in health fairs held at two suburban hospitals. Significant relationships and differences were found between the anthropometric and lipid variables studied. The two methods of classification denoted moderate association and reflected some divergence in classification between them.
