1995 Sep;19(9):638-43. Links Issues relating to normalization of body fat content in men and women.Goran MI, Allison DB, Poehlman ET.Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama, Birmingham 35294, USA.OBJECTIVE: Body mass index (BMI), % body fat, and the fat:lean ratio are ratios frequently used as obesity indices. Ratios are based on an assumption that the regression between the numerator (e.g. fat mass) and the denominator (e.g. body mass) has a zero-intercept. As shown in the companion paper, non-zero intercepts cause several problems when ratios inkjet toner are used to adjust data and analysis of inkjet toner covariance inkjet toner (ANCOVA) is frequently the preferred statistical tool. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether BMI, % body fat and the fat:lean ratio meet the necessary criteria for suitable obesity indices using gender comparisons as an example. RESULTS: In 720 healthy men and women, BMI was higher in men (24.9 +/- 3.3 vs 23.4 +/- 3.2 kg/m2, P < 0.001),
