Application of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis to Elderly Populations [PDF]
The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 1997 Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can potentially be used to estimate body composition in large populations studied at multiple sites. However, it is not clear whether age-specific BIA equations are necessary for accurate application of BIA to research on elderly subjects.We compared a published equation designed to predict fat-free mass (FFM ...
