摘要: The associations between estimates of obesity derived from anthropometric measurements (body mass index, the sum three skin folds, and computed percent body fat) blood pressures were examined by multiple regression analysis in 4508 young black white adults. yielded similar results analyses. strength these systolic diastolic did not differ subjects either sex. All lead to same interpretation relationship or pressure. Estimated fat offered no advantage over other indices this context.
