Accuracy and Precision of Opportunistic Measures of Body Composition from the Tanita DC-430U

Hannah Parker et al.

Summary: This study quantified the accuracy and precision of bioelectrical impedance (BIA)-estimated percent body fat (%BF) using different devices and measurement times. The results showed that the new BIA device Tanita DC-430U underestimated %BF but correctly ranked children in terms of %BF. Measurements taken at different times within a day were less precise compared to measurements taken at different days.

A-Mode Ultrasound Reliability in Fat and Muscle Thickness Measurement

Guilherme Ribeiro et al.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the reliability of BodyMetrix portable A-mode ultrasound in measuring fat and muscle tissue thickness. The findings indicate that the graphic technique was only reliable in measuring fat thickness in certain body sites, while the imaging technique was reliable in measuring both fat and muscle thickness in all regions, with better reliability values for muscle thickness.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis as an alternative to dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in the assessment of fat mass and appendicular lean mass in patients with obesity

Maria D. Ballesteros-Pomar et al.

Summary: The study found that in people with obesity, the reliability of estimating FM using multifrequency BIA is high, and for ALM estimation, BIA showed good correlation with DXA, but it tended to overestimate ALM when proprietary equations were used.

Reliability of body composition assessment using A-mode ultrasound in a heterogeneous sample

Monica Miclos-Balica et al.

Summary: The A-mode ultrasound is highly reliable for %BF assessments, with better precision for men than for women. Examiner performance contributes to variability and should be improved for greater precision.

Precision and accuracy of bioelectrical impedance analysis devices in supine versus standing position with or without retractable handle in Caucasian subjects

Katrin Hamilton-James et al.

Summary: This study compared the precision and accuracy of BIA(std4), BIA(std8), and BIA(sup) in a Caucasian population. The results showed that all three devices were very precise, with BIA(std4) and BIA(std8) suitable for rapid body composition assessment in non-bedridden subjects. However, these three devices should not be used interchangeably.
