Explain the Impedance method to Measure Body Fats?
Impedance method: This method can give entire body composition like total body water (TBW), fat free mass (FFM) or lean body mass (LBM), fat mass (FM) and body fat (BF %) and body mass weight (kg/lb). The analyzer requires data on height and correction for weight of clothing. It computes wt/ht2 to give BMI also, the principle of this method is to pass a small electric current through the body and the subject stands on electrodes as on a weighing scale. The impedance is printed with body composition analysis data.
