The application of body mass index (BMI) for obesity classification in all population studies has been questioned by the scientific community.

This study was conducted to evaluate the accuracies of BMI, skinfold thickness (SFT), leptin and BIA measurements in obesity classification and to find correlations between BIA and the other indicators for obesity.
