Published: December 1993

We have reviewed the physical theory of body composition assessment using bioelectrical impedance analysis. We discuss the measurement reproducibility, the application to the estimation of total body water, extracellular water, nutritional assessment and the measurement of total body fat. We also comment the application to the study of body composition in children, other physiological and pathological situations and the utility in epidemiological studies.
