Scatter plot of the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and percentage of body fat (BF%) of Sri Lankan men (+) and women (o). Relationship between the percentage of body fat (BF %) and body mass index (BMI) of Sri Lankan (+) males and (o) females. The linear regression models: (BF% male = (BMI × 1.114) + (age × 0.139) – 9.662 and BF% female = (BMI × 0.918) + (age × 0.153) +3.819.Polynomial regression for non linearity: females (R2 = 0.70, SEE 3.4%, p < 0.000) males (R2 = 0.58, SEE 4.1%, p < 0.05).
