This study assessed the predictive accuracy of age‐ and fatness‐specific BIA equations in estimating the fat‐free mass (FFM) of a heterogeneous sample (N = 152) of women, 20–72 years (yr), with 11–57% body fat (BF). The criterion method was hydrostatic weighing (HW) at residual volume. The Siri (Siri [1961] Natl. Acad. Sci., pp. 78–89) two‐component model was used to convert body density into relative body fat (% BF) for calculation of criterion FFW HW . Average FFM HW and predicted FFM BIA did not differ significantly ( P > .05) for the Lohman (Lohman [1981] Hum. Biol. 53:181–225) (20–29 yr), Van Loan and Mayclin (Van Loan and Mayclin [1987] Hum, Biol. 59:299–309) (18–64 yr), Gray (Gray [1989] Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 50:225–260) (19–59% BF), and Segal (Segal et al. [1988] Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 47:7–14) (<30% BF and ≥30% BF) equations. The SEE for these equations ranged from 2.11 to 2.65 kg. All other equations (Lohman 30–49 yr and 50–70 yr; Durenberg (Durenberg et al. [1990] Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 51:3–6) 20–40 yr and 60–83 yr) significantly underestimated ( P < .05) FFM HW by as much as 5 kg, with the SEEs ranging from 2.12 to 2.82 kg., The prediction error of equations developed specifically for young (Lohman, 20–29 yr) and non‐obese (Segal, <30% BF) women was less than that for older (Van Loan and Mayclin, 18–64 yr) and obese (Segal, ≥30% BF; Gray, 19–59% BF) women. In conclusion, Lohman's equation for older (30–49 yr) women or Durenberg's equations for younger (20–40 yr) and older (60–83 yr) women are not recommended. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc
