Body fat measurement by bioelectrical impedance and air displacement plethysmography: a cross-validation study to design bioelectrical impedance equations in Mexican adults
BACKGROUND The study of body composition in specific populations by techniques such as bio-impedance analysis (BIA) requires validation based on standard reference methods. The aim of this study was to develop and cross-validate a predictive equation for bioelectrical impedance using air displacement plethysmography (ADP) as standard method to measure body composition in Mexican adult men and w...
متن کاملValidation 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 کاملExternal cross-validation of bioelectrical impedance analysis for the assessment of body composition in Korean adults
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) models must be validated against a reference method in a representative population sample before they can be accepted as accurate and applicable. The purpose of this study was to compare the eight-electrode BIA method with DEXA as a reference method in the assessment of body composition in Korean adults and to investigate the predictive accuracy and applic...
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 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...
