Measurement of Body Composition in People with HIV/AIDS: A comparison of Bioelectrical Impedance and Skinfold Anthropometry with Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry

Results of a study are given which determines, using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as a basis for comparison, whether bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold anthropometry are able to assess body composition accurately in people with HIV/AIDS. All field methods showed a highly signif...

Zusammenfassung:	Results of a study are given which determines, using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as a basis for comparison, whether bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold anthropometry are able to assess body composition accurately in people with HIV/AIDS. All field methods showed a highly significant correlation with the DEXA estimates for fat-free mass and fat mass.
