摘要：This study was undertaken to develop different predictive models for the active college males in the age range of 18–24 years. The reference variable was the fat percentage measured with bio-electrical impendence. Five sets of independent models were generated with girth alone, skinfold alone, girth with demographic, skinfold with demographic and all together. Step-wise multiple regression was carried out in each category of variables and the best model from each category was identifies and compared. The analysis revealed that the best model evolved when all the variables were used with a R2 value of 0.797. The model with girth and demographic variables resulted in R2 of 0.793. Since girth is easier to measure, the second model may be used for the estimation in field situation. However, the model demands validation in a larger population.
