Cross‐calibration of multi‐frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis with eight‐point tactile electrodes and dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry for assessment of body composition in healthy children aged 6–18 years

Background: In diagnosis and treatment of obesity, body composition analysis including percent body fat (%BF) is useful in the clinical setting. Because bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) could be used quickly, easily and was non‐invasive in clinical setting, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of multi‐frequency BIA with eight‐point tactile electrodes (MF‐BIA8; InBody 720, Biospace) compared with dual‐energy...
