title: Estimating body fat in lean and obese women.
abstract: The body fat content of lean and obese women was measured by six different methods: underwater weighing, the current "standard"; body water dilution; whole-body counting; skinfold measurements; bioelectrical impedance; and magnetic resonance imaging. Of these, magnetic resonance imaging gave values most similar to those obtained by underwater weighing. All methods were subject to considerable variation between and within subjects.
