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.
of impedance, weight, height, gender, and age. In actual use, however, BIA calculations of an individual’s body fat may vary by as much as 10 percent of body weight because of differences in machines and method ologies used. Equations and their variables differ, as does the choice of a reference method.
