Wu et al used bioelectric impedence analysis (BIA) to estimate fat-free mass (FFM) in healthy Taiwanese patients. The authors are from National Chung Hsing University in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Patient selection: healthy Taiwanese, age range 16 to 75 years
Analysis: foot-to-foot impedance (current 50 kHx, measurements repeated until stable to within 5 ohms, averaging at least 3 repeated measurement, HBF-361, Omron Healthcare)
