Body composition estimates from multicomponent models using BIA to determine body water

Article Abstract:

This article examines the accuracy of body composition estimates obtained through the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis to calculate total body water. Findings indicate that body composition values derived from multicomponent models that incorporate bioelectrical impedance analysis are not significantly more accurate than values obtained using body density methods.

Use of air displacement plethysmography for estimating body fat in a four-component model

Article Abstract:

A new air displacement plethysmography instrument product, BOD POD Body Composition System estimates body fat and other body composition measurements in a 4 step system. The system measures body water, body mineral density and fat content to determine body fat levels.

Impact of bone mineral estimates on percent fat estimates from a four-component model

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that bone mineral content (BMC) from varying dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry has little impact on percent body fat, fat-free mass, and fat mass. Results are based on a study of BMC using 14 men and 10 women.
