Abstract

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to examine the agreement of segmental multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis ( SMF‐BIA ) for the assessment of whole‐body and appendicular fat mass ( FM ) and lean soft tissue mass ( LSTM ) compared with dual‐energy X ‐ray absorptiometry ( DXA ) in a community‐dwelling J apanese older population. Methods: The study population included 551 community‐dwelling J apanese older adults (241 men and 310 women) aged between 65 and 87 years. Agreement between SMF‐BIA and DXA for whole‐body and appendicular body composition was assessed using simple linear regression and B land– A ltman analysis. Results: High coefficients of determination ( R 2 ) were observed for whole‐body FM ( R 2 = 0.91, standard error of estimate [ SEE ] = 1.4 kg in men and R 2 = 0.94, SEE = 1.2 kg in women) between SMF‐BIA and DXA . The R 2 coefficient for whole‐body LSTM was higher in men ( R 2 = 0.88, SEE = 1.9 kg) than in women ( R 2 = 0.83, SEE = 1.5 kg). There was systematic bias with overestimation of whole‐body FM and underestimation of whole‐body LSTM by SMF‐BIA . Proportional bias was noted for measurement of whole‐body FM and LSTM in both men and women, but there was no proportional bias between the two methods for measurement of appendicular LSTM ( r = 0.05, P = 0.428 and r = −0.10, P = 0.070 for men and women, respectively). Conclusion: SMF‐BIA is a good alternative for estimating the whole‐body and appendicular FM and LSTM in a community‐dwelling J apanese older population, although it overestimated FM and underestimated LSTM when validated against DXA .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
