The high prevalence of obesity, defined by body mass index (BMI), among children and adolescents in the United States (1) and elsewhere has prompted increased attention to body composition in childhood. Measurements of body composition for persons aged 8 years and over using whole-body, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry
(DXA) scans were included in the 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). These data make it possible to estimate percentage body fat for the
U.S. pediatric population. This report provides smoothed estimates of selected percentiles of total percentage body fat for boys and girls aged 8–19 years in the United States in 1999–2004.
