“…In addition, the kind of bioimpedance device or electrode could also affect the result (Nakadomo et al, 1990a). In using the equation developed by Nakadomo et al (1990b), the correlations with UW were moderate (0.63 for males and 0.66 for females).…”

“…In recent years, a bioelectrical impedance method to estimate body composition is getting popular, because the cost of the device is relatively inexpensive and the procedure is simple (Nakadomo et al, 1990a;Tanaka et al, 1992). Hydrodensitometry, or underwater weighing, where the subjects must participate in a series of complex procedures, has been employed to determine the criterion of validity when examining a prediction equation.…”

Abstract. The present study investigated the validity, reliability, objectivity, and practicability of methods with skinfold caliper (SF), ultrasound (US), bioelectrical impedance (BI), and sulfur hexafluoride (SHD) using identical subjects, and evaluated comprehensive usefulness by comparing selected methods or equations. In examining validity, underwater weighing (UW) was employed to obtain the criterion of validity. The subjects were healthy Japanese, 16 males and 15 females, aged 18 to 32 years. The prediction equation developed by Nakadomo et al. (1990b) was considered to be suitable for BI. With respect to the validity, BI and SHD assessing total body when estimating body composition would be more valid than those assessing partial subcutaneous skinfold thickness. A comprehensive evaluation through an examination with respect to the validity, reliability, objectivity, and practicability suggests that the BI could be the best method to assess human body composition in vivo.

“…Lean body mass (LBM) and BF% were estimated by Tanita Innovations Inc. Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer, which has been shown to be reliable and valid for determining the percentage of body fat in children 3 . Body density (D) was calculated according to the Nakadomo's formula for Japanese schoolchildren: 4 …”

“…There is no agreement on the validity of %BF of the BIA method when using %BF based on the UW method as a criterion. Namely, both underestimating (Nakadomo et al, 1990a(Nakadomo et al, , 1990b and overestimating (Keller and Katch, 1986;Hodgdo and Fitzgerald, 1987) have been reported.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the influence of posture change on relative body fat in the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method. The subjects were 30 Japanese healthy young adult males (age: 19.8 ± 1.4 years, height: 172.3 ± 5.8 cm, weight: 67.1 ± 8.2 kg). We used devices with different body segment inductions, between the hand and foot (H-F BIA) and between hands (H-H BIA), and set four measurement conditions differing in posture (supine or sitting), during rest and measurement. The reliabilities of %BF in the H-H and H-F BIA methods were very high (r=0.995, 0.966), and the relationship in %BF between the UW method and each BIA method was mid-range (r=0.767, 0.709). Although there were no differences in %BF among different measurement postures in the H-F BIA method, %BF in the H-H BIA method increased significantly when the posture was changed just before measurement. This indicated that it is necessary to pay attention to the posture change just before measurement in the H-H BIA method.
