Developing an Impedance Based Equation for Fat-Free Mass of Black Preadolescent South African Children

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a practical alternative to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for determining body composition in children. Currently, there are no population specific equations available for predicting fat-free mass (FFM) in South African populations. We determined agr...
