Abstract:Objective: The objective of the study was to establish a model that would reduce the bioimpedance measurement error as compared with the densitometric result, in terms of total and segmental fatty tissue content in children. Material and methods: The study consisted of 56 children, aged 6-18. All subjects underwent a densitometry examination (DXA) to assess total fatty tissue mass (%, g), and percentage of fatty tissue on limbs and trunk. The bioelectric impedance (BIA) analyses were performed using a Tanita s… Show more
