Fig. 1

Bland-Altman plot for the agreement between the DXA and Slaughter estimates of percent body fat. Eachpoint represents an individual children and the black line is the smoothed (lowess) curve. The overall medians are shown by the large diamonds, and the dashed lines represent the 95% CI for the agreement between the 2 methods; if the estimates for the 2 methods were identical, all points would fall along the y=0 line. The PBF Slaughter estimates appear to be biased, with PBF Slaughter underestimating PBF DXA among most children, but overestimating PBF DXA among the heaviest children, particularly among boys
