Prediction of visceral fat area at the umbilicus level using fat mass of the trunk: The validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis
Article Abstract:
The validity of fat mass as a predictor for visceral fat area at the umbilicus level is determined and equations are developed to predict visceral fat mass at the umbilical level using fat mass of the trunk. The fat mass of the trunk measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) might be a valid method, as fat mass of the trunk is an effective predictor for the visceral fat at the umbilicus level.
