Article Synopsis
- Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is utilized for evaluating body composition and this study compares cross-mode BIA (left hand to right foot) with hand-to-foot BIA for estimating fat-free mass (FFM).
- The research involved 264 men and 232 women, and used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as the benchmark, finding strong correlations in FFM measurements from both BIA modes.
- Results indicate that cross-mode BIA provides comparable accuracy to hand-to-foot BIA in estimating FFM, making it a practical tool for assessing body composition in Chinese populations.
