Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in a Mathematical Model for Estimating Fat-free Mass in Multiple Segments in Elderly Taiwanese Males

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in a Mathematical Model for Estimating Fat-free Mass in Multiple Segments in Elderly Taiwanese Males

Background: This research applied bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and Dual-Energy X-ray AbsorptioMetry (DXA) to measure the body composition of Taiwan elderly. We developed the new mathematical estimation model for fat free mass of multiple segments. Methods: The modified BIA instrument with...
