Body image perception and body composition: assessment of perception inconsistency by a new index.

Given the highly significant negative correlations between FAI FAT and %F in both sexes of the examined sample (males: r = − 0.5013; females: r = − 0.3564; p < 0.0001), we performed a regression analysis identifying body misperception for subjects with FAI FAT ≥ 2 or ≤ − 2 (Figs. 1 and 2 ) in accordance with previous studies [ 41 , 42 ] on the interpretation of perceived figure (Feel figure) and actual anthropometric values.
