The objective this study is validate the Movsesyan Equation to predict body fat by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in an older women population of southern Brazil. Methods: Observational study. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was performed. The percentage of body fat by Movsesyan Equation showed a high linear correlation and an intraclass correlation almost perfect with % body fat evaluated by DXA.
