A comparison of bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold measurements with Medix DR Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for assessment of body fat percentage

摘要

Objectives. - Body composition can be evaluated using a variety of methods to estimate body fat percentage, but methods tend to vary in precision. The aim of our study is to compare skinfold thickness measurement and bioelectrical impedance analysis to dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for the estimation of body fat percentage in healthy adults.
