Estimation of body composition measured by different bioelectrical impedance method

―Comparison between InBody and left and right regions separate inner scan―

Abstract

　The purpose of this study was to clarify the possibility of inner scan using the left and right parts by measuring the body composition in young women by comparison with body composition measured using InBody. Body compositions were measured for 201 students (mean age ± SD: 20.1 ± 0.6) of O women’s University in October 2015, 2016. As a result of comparing the body composition measured by both measurement methods, body weight, body fat percentage, basal metabolism rate, muscle mass, and BMI, the correlation coefficients of these body compositions were all high, and all the p values were > 0.001. This finding suggests it is possible to examine the relationship between body composition value using inner scan by the right and left part and nutritional intake, lifestyle habits, eating habits when measuring the body composition from a large number of subjects in the field of epidemiological study where it is difficult to use an InBody.
