The objective of this study was to determine body composition of university students usingfour different methods and to find out the extent of agreement between these methods regarding themeasurement of body fat percentage in body composition. The study group consisted of 52 students ofthe P.J. Šafárik University in Košice (29 males and 23 females) whose average age was 22.4 ± 1.9. Thestudy group was formed by convenience sampling. Basic somatometric parameters (body height andweight) were determined and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The body fat percentage wasdetermined by indirect methods, that is by measuring skinfold thickness at 10 locations on the bodyusing calliper Best II.K501 and by bioimpendance method using devices Bodystat 1500, Omron BF511(tetra-polar electrode configuration) and Omron BF300 (bi-polar electrode configuration). Profileanalysis based on one-sample Hotelling’s test with chi-squared approximation was used for assessingagreement among given four methods of body fat measurements. Statistical analysis of differencesamong methods was supplemented by the Bland-Altman graphical method with the Wilcoxon pairedtest. The whole statistical analysis was performed using Excel and software R. Hotteling’s Test (p |
