Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysisin BodyCompositionMeasurement National Institutes of Health Technology Assessment Conference Statement December 12 14, 1994 Abstract Objective. To provide physicians with a responsible assessment of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology for body Composition measurement. Participants. A non-Federal, nonadvocate, 13-member panel representing the fields of nutrition, pediatrics, surgery, public health, biomedical engineering, epidemiology, and biostatistics. In addition, 20 experts in nutrition, pediatrics, metabolism, biomedical engineering, physiology, and epidemiology presented data to the panel and a confer ence audience of 220.
Introduction. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a widely used method for estimating body composition. The technology is relatively simple, quick, and noninvasive. BIA is currently used in diverse settings, including private clinicians’ offices, health clubs, and hospitals, and across a spectrum of ages, body weights, and disease states.
