Girth measurements are limiting in estimating body fatness because there is an assumption of a certain amount of muscularity

For what groups would this technique not be limiting (assuming a population-specific equation) because they are relatively similar in muscularity?

What will be an ideal response?


Responses will vary. One example is the armed forces, where extremes in body fatness and muscularity are screened out.
