Evaluation of a Leg-to-Leg Bioimpedance Device in the Estimation of Abdominal Visceral Fat for the Elderly – Comparison with CT

This study aimed to assess the accuracy of the standing leg-to-leg bioelectrical impedance analyzer (LBIA) for estimating abdominal visceral fat with body mass index (BMI) scores ranging from non-overweight to obese in elderly Chinese individuals. The abdominal visceral fat area (VFA) at the lumbar level of L4-L5 was measured for 100 elderly (age 68.5 ± 8.5 years) individuals using LBIA and computed tomography (CT) (respectively represented as...
