Abstract
Background and objectives The ability of bioelectrical impedance (BIA) to measure change in body composition in children has rarely been examined. Methods Body composition was estimated by BIA (Tanita BC-418) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 187 children aged 4–8 years at baseline and at 12 months. Change in body composition was compared between the two methods using mixed models. Results Estimates of change in fat mass did not...
