Predictive accuracy of Omron Body Logic Analyzer in estimating relative body fat of adults

Article Abstract:

This study investigates the accuracy of the Omron Body Logic Analyzer, a bioelectric impedance device, in estimating relative body fat. A comparison between measurements taken using the Omron device and hydrostatic weighing revealed a significant difference in average fat estimates in men, but no differences in the women's estimates.

Comparison of DXA, Siri's 2C, and Lohman's Db-mineral models for estimating the body fat of physically active adults

Article Abstract:

The authors used 3-component Db-mineral-model reference measures to cross-validate Siri's 2-component conversion formula and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry estimates of relative body fat for physically active adults. A multicomponent model inclusive of total-body-water assessment would enhance future body-composition investigations of physically active adults.

Practical body composition assessment for children, adults, and older adults

Article Abstract:

Several methodologies can be used to properly assess body composition for subjects of different age groups. The bioimpedance method is appropriate for discerning fat-free mass in both adults and children, while the skinfold approach is suitable for assessing body density of adults and body fat of children. Measurements of bony diameters and circumferences are an accurate method for older adults.
