Validation of ‘InBody’ Bioelectrical Impedance by Whole Body MRI
MRI has been shown to be an excellent technique for measuring body fat content, with it's ability to separately quantify specific fat compartments being a real advantage over other techniques. However, it is not suitable for large population studies. Bioelectrical impedance is widely used as a method for assessing body composition, however previous studies have found there is good correlation b...
متن کاملValidation of bioelectrical impedance analysis in Ethiopian adults with HIV
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is an inexpensive, quick and non-invasive method to determine body composition. Equations used in BIA are typically derived in healthy individuals of European descent. BIA is specific to health status and ethnicity and may therefore provide inaccurate results in populations of different ethnic origin and health status. The aim of the present study was to t...
متن کاملBioelectrical impedance analysis revisited.
Although total limb volume measurements are used to track the progress of lymphedema and its treatment, these measurements can be confounded by changes other than fluid excess namely muscle or fat gain. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique that specifically quantifies both total body fluid and extracellular fluid in extremities. Whereas BIA has potential as a quick, inexpensive...
متن کاملIs bioelectrical impedance accurate for use in large epidemiological studies?
Percentage of body fat is strongly associated with the risk of several chronic diseases but its accurate measurement is difficult. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a relatively simple, quick and non-invasive technique, to measure body composition. It measures body fat accurately in controlled clinical conditions but its performance in the field is inconsistent. In large epidemiologic s...
متن کاملValidation of tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance method to assess human body composition.
This study was conducted to validate the relationship between bioelectrical conductance (ht2/R) and densitometrically determined fat-free mass, and to compare the prediction errors of body fatness derived from the tetrapolar impedance method and skinfold thicknesses, relative to hydrodensitometry. One-hundred and fourteen male and female subjects, aged 18-50 yr, with a wide range of fat-free ma...
