Body fat analysis is an essential measurement for understanding adiposity in the population. There are several methods to assess adiposity, like anthropometric measurements, and recently, body impedance analysis has been used for the analysis of adiposity; thus, it is important to compare skinfold thickness (SFT) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in measuring body fat percentage among young college students. Methods: Two methods were compared to analyse the adiposity among young college students i.e. SFT and BIA, both of which are non-invasive techniques and are used widely for assessing body fat. Accordingly, 145 students between the ages of 18-29 year were enrolled (41 males, 104 females) and their body parameters, and adiposity was measured using SFT and BIA. Results: The participants’ mean BMI was 23.08±4.02 kg/m2 for females and 23.63±3.80 kg/m2 for males. According to SFT and BIA procedures, the female had a body fat percentage of 30.62±4.31% and 37.50±6.70%, respectively, while the male had a percentage of 20.06±5.12% and 24.78±8.73%, respectively. A positive correlation (P<0.001) was found between both assessment procedures. The Bland-Altman plot revealed a proportionate bias towards the body fat measurements between females (r=0.853, P<0.001) and males (r=0.496, P<0.07). It also demonstrated SFT and BIA approaches which were not in agreement with body fat percentages as BIA overestimates fat percentage when compared with skin fold thickness. Conclusion: The two approaches cannot be used interchangeably. However, for better understanding cut-off values can be changed according to the assessment method used to analyse adiposity.
