Assessment of adiposity by bio impedance analysis: developing a population specific equation for Sri Lankan adolescents

Abstract: Objective: Adiposity in adolescence is associated with chronic disease in adulthood, and assessment of body fat mass is vital for screening at risk populations. Adiposity is measured in many ways including bio impedence analysis. The objective of this study was to validate existing bio impedance analysis (BIA) equations on 15-19 year old adolescent girls and to derive a population specific equation for the prediction of percentage fat mass (%FM) for adolescent girls.Methods: Body composition of 15 -19 year old… Show more
