- Abstract
A letter is presented discussing a study on the sex-specific relationship of body mass index (BMI) and body adiposity index with body fat among white and black adults. The metabolic studies conducted from 1992 to 2011 recruited participants from the greater Baton Rouge area. Variables measured included height and weight using a stadiometer and digital scale, respectively, and hip circumference at the level of the trochanters. Discussed in details are the research findings.
