This study evaluate the accuracy of four body composition prediction equations in the teenager students in Hamadan city .Method: The anthropometry profile of 266 adolescent girls (12-16 ys) including ,weight (55.69±10.18 kg),body mass index (21.93±3.6 kg/m2) and percent body fat averages (29.65±4.41%) were measured using the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as a reference style and the selected skinfold prediction equations, ie, Durnin-Rahaman, Deurenberg , Westrate- Deurenberg, Slaugter. Results: Significant relationship was observed between BIA and four body composition prediction equations (p<0/05) with intervene the maturity level. However the most relationship was found among BIA method and Durnin-Rahaman logarithmic equation (R=0.82-0.92 ,p<001). Conclusion: It seems that physical education coaches and health-related organizations for athletic performance and Clinical assessments of body composition in young individuals probably can accurately utilized fat prediction, especially by applying the Diurnin- Rahaman skinfold equation.
