AB  - BACKGROUND & AIMS: The aim of the study was to evaluate the correspondence 
      between body fat mass composition (percentage) measured with dual-energy X-ray 
      absorptiometry (DXA) and estimated by means of skinfold thicknesses (ST) 
      measurement in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), before and after weight gain. 
      METHODS: Percentage body fat (%BF) was measured with DXA and estimated by ST 
      measurements using Siri, Brozek, and Heyward equations in 27 adult patients with 
      AN before and after weight gain (pre- and post-treatment) achieved with inpatient 
      treatment and in 42 healthy age-matched controls. RESULTS: Due to Lohman criteria 
      and Bland Altman plot there is no correspondence between the %BF measured with 
      DXA and the %BF estimated by predictive equations based on ST measurements in 
      patients with AN before and after weight gain, with the exception of Brozek 
      equation which showed a mild agreement in pre-treatment AN. However, a 
      correspondence was observed between the two procedures in healthy controls. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Our data supporting the use of ST measurements do not appear to be 
      an alternative to DXA in estimating body fat percentage, before and after weight 
      gain in patients with AN.
