Bioelectrical Impedance vs. Four‐compartment Model to Assess Body Fat Change in Overweight Adults

Abstract

Leg-to-leg BIA performed reasonably well in predicting decreases in %FM in this group of overweight adults but resulted in wide SDs vs. %FM(4C) in individuals. Cross-sectional determinations of %FM of overweight individuals using leg-to-leg BIA should be interpreted with caution.
