Abstract
The present study will analyze the relationships between multiple types of body composition tests in order to see how they correlate to one another and which is the most accurate in relationship to a Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan reading. These other tests will include taking skinfold measurements with skin calipers, as well as administering a hand-held bioelectrical impedance test. The latter two assesesments will be used in a regression analysis to predict body composition according to DEXA.
