Materials and methods: Seventy-eight males were undergone anthropometric examination. PBF was calculated by BAI and measured using InBody 3.0. Results: Significant correlation was found between BAI and PBF (r = 0.751; P < 0.001). Conclusion: PBF can be measured by BAI, which is calculating from hip circumference and height and we validated this novel index. Therefore, it can be widely used in the clinical settings. %> http://jbrms.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-438-en.pdf %P 1-3 %& 1 %! %9 Research %L A-10-434-1 %+ Department of Sports Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, Ilam University, Ilam, Iran %G eng %@ 2383-0506 %[ 2019
