The types of bia instrument are described in more detail in the section below. The impedance index is related to the volume of body water and typically used to estimate fat free mass ffm assuming that 73 of the bodys ffm is water. Determine the bodys a resistance and b capacitive reactance. It is an integral part of a health and nutrition assessment. In one measurement of the bodys bioelectric impedance values of z 539 x 102 and 559 are obtained for the total impedance and the phase angle respectively. The criterion method for determining body composition is the four compartment model 1 fat mass 2 total body water 3 bone mineral mass and 4 residual mass and should be used when assessing the.
These values assume that the bodys resistance r is in series with its capacitance c and that there is no inductance l. In one measurement of the bodys bioelectric impedance values of. In one measurement of the bodys bioelectric impedance values of z 450 x 102 ω and φ 980 are obtained for the total impedance and the phase angle respectively. Most body water is stored in muscle. The measurement of body fat in relation to lean body mass. Determine the bodys a resistance and b capacitive.
Determine the bodys a resistance and b capacitive reactance. These values assume that the bodys resistance r is in series with its capacitance c and that there is no inductance l. As a result patients with increased extracellular water may be misidentified as being healthy. Z 455 x 102 and 847 are obtained for the total impedance and the phase angle respectively. Bia is used to assess the dimensions shown in table 1 depending upon the type of instrumentation used. Bioelectric impedance measurements bim is the term representative for a variety of traditional and new noninvasive procedures and technologies that use electric current.
These values assume that the bodys resistance r is in series with its capacitance c and that there is no inductance l. With the help of one or more surface electrodes a tiny amount of electrical current is activated and is detected at surface electrodes placed elsewhere on the body once the resultant electricity pulse has passed through. Determine the bodys resistance and capacitive reactance. Bioelectrical impedance analysis bia is a commonly used method for estimating body composition in particular body fat and muscle massin bia a weak electric current flows through the body and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance resistance of the body. The validity the agreement between the true value and a measurement value of body composition is key to determine the precision of bia measurement and its suitability for clinical use. Bio electrical impedance analysis or bioimpedance analysis bia is a method of assessing your body composition.
However since frequencies at 50 khz do not fully pass through the bodys cells accurate measurement of total body water is not possible. Many bia devices use only one frequency at 50 khz to measure impedance. The total impedance and the phase angle respectively. In one measurement of the bodys bioelectric impedance values of z 394 x 102 and 525 are obtained for. These values assume that the bodys resistance r is in series with its capacitance c and that there is no inductance l.
