Summary

The assessment of body composition is one of the main components within the evaluation of nutritional status under the ABCDE model. Generally, the use of equations to estimate components is a frequent strategy since it represents a doubly indirect method that has good correlation with methods of higher sensitivity (i.e., NMR, DXA, etc.). In this sense, the waist girth or circumference (WC) represents a quick, simple and inexpensive tool to evaluate the excess of fat mass in the human being; however, this measurement does not provide information on body composition in isolation and has been used as an important independent variable in some recent equations (e.g., relative fat mass \[RFM\]). Considering the lack of formulas or external validation of RFM in the Colombian population, the aim of this STROBE-Nut-based cross-sectional study is to develop and validate simple equations that use WC as an independent variable to estimate fat mass and fat-free mass in a population with different physical activity levels.
