ABSTRACT Background: New, vertical, 8-electrode bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) analyzers provide detailed body-composition and nutritional information within 2 min. This is the first report on BIS's accuracy in predicting relative fatness [percentage body fat (% BF)] in a heterogeneous sample according to a multicomponent model criterion. Objective: We compared% BF measurements from 2 BIS devices with those from a multicomponent model in a sample of Hispanic, black, and white adults. Design: Equal numbers of apparently …
