Few investigations have evaluated the validity of current body composition technology among racially and ethnically diverse populations. This study assessed the validity of common body composition methods in a multi-ethnic sample stratified by race and ethnicity. One hundred and ten individuals (55 % female, age: 26 center dot 5 (sd 6 center dot 9) years) identifying as Asian, African American/Black, Caucasian/White, Hispanic, Multi-racial and Native American were enrolled. Seven body composition models (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), air displacement plethysmography (ADP), two bioelectrical impedance devices (BIS, IB) and three multi-compartment models) were evaluated against a four-compartment criterion model by assessing total error (TE) and standard error of the estimate. For the total sample, measures of % fat and fat-free mass (FFM) from multi-compartment models were all excellent to ideal (% fat: TE = 0 center dot 94-2 center dot 37 %; FFM: TE = 0 center dot 72-1 center dot 78 kg) compared with the criterion. % fat measures were very good to excellent for DXA, ADP and IB (TE = 2 center dot 52-2 center dot 89 %) and fairly good for BIS (TE = 4 center dot 12 %). For FFM, single device estimates were good (BIS; TE = 3 center dot 12 kg) to ideal (DXA, ADP, IB; TE = 1 center dot 21-2 center dot 15 kg). Results did not vary meaningfully between each race and ethnicity, except BIS was not valid for African American/Black, Caucasian/White and Multi-racial participants for % fat (TE = 4 center dot 3-4 center dot 9 %). The multi-compartment models evaluated can be utilised in a multi-ethnic sample and in each individual race and ethnicity to obtain highly valid results for % fat and FFM. Estimates from DXA, ADP and IB were also valid. The BIS may demonstrate greater TE for all racial and ethnic cohorts and results should be interpreted cautiously.
