The variations of body mass index and body fat in adult Thai people across the age spectrum measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis

The variations of body mass index and body fat in adult Thai people across the age spectrum measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis

The measurements of body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat are used in many clinical situations. However, special tools are required to measure body fat. Many formulas are proposed for estimation but these use constant coefficients of age. Age spectrum might affect the predicted value of t...

Age spectrum might affect the predicted value of the body composition due to body component alterations, and the coefficient of age for body fat prediction might produce inconsistent results.
