Proportional multiplicative allometric regression model and internal cross-validation for the prediction of DXA-measured lower limbs lean soft tissue^*.

Abbreviations: 95% CI, 95% confidence intervals; VIF, variance inflation factors; LST, lean soft tissue; DXA, dual x-ray absorptiometry; % PMS, percentage of attained predicted mature stature. *ln (lower limbs LSTDXA) = k1 × ln (body mass) +k2 × ln (leg length) +k3 × ln (mid-thigh circumference) +k4 × ln (anterior mid-thigh skinfold) +k5 × ln (medial calf skinfold) +a+b × (% PMS) +ln ε.
