Abstract
The results of this systematic review show favourable evidence for the use of anthropometric indicators - above all BMI and WC- in the measurement of BF, when more accurate techniques such as DEXA and ADP are not feasible. They also demonstrate features that make them advantageous for epidemiological studies in a child population, since they are easy and safe to obtain and well tolerated by the children.
