<b>Bipolar bioelectrical impedance: lack of accuracy in estimating relative body fat in men.</b> DOI: 10.5007/1980-0037.2011v13n2p100

Bioelectrical impedance (BI) is commonly used to estimate body composition in different populations. The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of bipolar BI (Omron BF 300) in estimating relative body fat (%F) by comparing it with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). %F was measured in...
