2. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

   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.

3. Body fat percentage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage

   The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method is a lower-cost (from less than one to several hundred US dollars in 2006 [16]) but less accurate way to estimate body fat percentage. The general principle behind BIA: two or more conductors are attached to a person's body and a small electric current is sent through the body.

4. Body composition - Wikipedia

   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).

5. Electrical impedance myography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance_myography

   Standard bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), like EIM, also employs a weak, high frequency electric current to measure characteristics of the human body. In standard BIA, unlike EIM, electric current is passed between electrodes placed on the hands and feet, and the impedance characteristics of the entire current path are measured.
