Bioelectrical Impedance versus Body Mass Index for Predicting Body Composition Parameters in Sedentary Job Women
Objective: Nowadays the value of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in the estimation of body adiposity both on a clinical basis in the individual and epidemiologically in large populations is of great interest. The current study determine accuracy of BIA compared with body mass index (BMI) measurement for estimating body composition in a group of normal weight employee women with a sedenta...
متن کاملBioelectrical impedance and body composition assessment.
Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) has become increasingly popular in recent years in the assessment of body composition and body fluid status. The level of interest in this technique is related to the following advantages: it is non-invasive, inexpensive, portable and requires minimal subject compliance. However, as with all indirect methods, the ability of BIA to accurately assess body composition...
متن کاملBody composition: validity of segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures the impedance associated with passage of an alternating current through the body which is proportional to total body water (TBW) and therefore can provide expedient estimates of body composition. However, little validity information is available for commercially available bathroom scale type devices which perform whole body estimates from segmenta...
متن کاملDevelopment of Prediction Equations for Body Composition in Indian Children Using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
We aimed to develop a BIA equation to predict fat free mass (FFM) using deuterium oxide (H2O) dilution as the reference method for children. Seventy seven children (36 boys and 41 girls), aged 6 to 24 month participated in the study. The best fi t FFM prediction equation included weight, sex and length2/resistance (adjusted R2=0.83 and root mean square error of 0.49 kg). Applying »leave-one-out...
متن کاملBody Composition Analysis of University Students by Anthropometry and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
Background: Worldwide, at least 2.8 million people die each year as a result of being overweight or obese, and 35.8 million (2.3%) of global DALYs are caused by overweight or obesity. Obesity is acknowledged as one of the burning public health problems reducing life expectancy and quality of life. The body composition analysis of the university population is essential in assessing the nutrition...
