Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.

BMI vs. Body Fat. We’ll start at the very beginning: Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of someone’s weight compared to their height whereas body fat percentage is a measure of how much body ...
A wide variety of body composition measurement methods exist. The gold standard measurement technique for the 4-compartment model consists of a weight measurement, body density measurement using hydrostatic weighing or air displacement plethysmography, total body water calculation using isotope dilution analysis, and mineral content measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).

In using human body and fat mass data from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, the Thomas group found that BRI never was a negative value, and that larger BRI values were associated with people having a round shape, while shape values closer to 1 were related to people with narrow, lean bodies.
