  1. FFM, fat free mass; SE, Standard error of estimate; FFMDXA, DXA measurement of FFM; FFMBIA, BIA prediction of FFM; h2/ZF-F, height2/impedance; SEE, standard error of estimate;
  2. Root mean square error (RMSE) = \( \sqrt{{\displaystyle \sum}\frac{{\left({\mathrm{y}}_{\mathrm{i}}^{\hbox{'}}-{\mathrm{y}}_{\mathrm{i}}\right)}^2}{\mathrm{n}}-\mathrm{p}-1} \)
  3. Pure errors (PE) = \( \sqrt{{\displaystyle \sum}\frac{{\left({\mathrm{y}}_{\mathrm{i}}^{\hbox{'}}-{\mathrm{y}}_{\mathrm{i}}\right)}^2}{\mathrm{n}}} \); where y’ is the predicted FFM, y is the observed, n is the number of subjects and p is the number of predictor variables
