Body Composition Analyzers: Bioelectrical Impedance and Anthropometric Accuracy
These devices move beyond BMI by quantifying fat mass, lean muscle mass, and total body water.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA): A weak electrical current is passed through the body. Since fat has high resistance (impedance) and muscle (containing water) has low resistance, the device calculates body segments based on conductivity.
Multi-Frequency BIA: Uses different frequencies to distinguish between intracellular and extracellular water, providing a more accurate assessment of cellular health and edema.
