ABSTRACT Whole-body and regional raw bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters have been used to develop lean soft tissue estimation prediction models. Still, no fat mass (FM) assessment models provided. Hence, we aimed validate BIA-derived equations predict FM against dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in healthy adults. One hundred forty-eight adults (77 females) were included this cross-sectional investigation. DXA assessed whole-body FM, of distinct body regions measured...
It is unclear if different bioelectrical impedance (BI) devices provide similar results regarding raw parameters [Resistance (R), Reactance (Xc), Phase Angle (PhA), and Impedance (Z)] for the same population/individual undergoing a weight loss intervention. The aim was to evaluate cross-sectional longitudinal agreement of data obtained by two BI in former athletes with overweight/obesity. Fifty-nine participants [mean (SD): 43.5 (9.2) years, 30.5 (4.0) kg/m2, 42% females] were included. All...
