Lawrence recently attended a local health fair to learn more about improving his diet and lifestyle. while there, a hospital worker used fat calipers on the back of his triceps to assess his percent body fat. a friend points out that skinfold calipers often give very inaccurate percent body fat readings. if lawrence wants to obtain the most accurate percent body fat measurement, which method should he use?

Respuesta :

The most accurate method for measuring percentage of body fat is Dual Energy X Ray Absorptiometry Scan [DEXA]. There are six different methods which can be used to measure percentage body fat but DEXA is the most accurate method. DEXA determines the percentage of fat in the body by measuring the bone mineral density.
