Intra-rater reliability and agreement of a portable bioelectrical impedance analysis device for body composition assessment
Scientific validation
Validation study of the Biody Xpert ZM III compared to DXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry), conducted in both sitting and supine positions. Results demonstrate excellent agreement, with a mean deviation of approximately 3.7 Ω on impedance measurements and less than 1% difference on fat mass assessment. No statistically significant differences were observed for fat mass, lean mass, or fat-free mass.
→ Confirms accuracy and reliability equivalent to the DXA reference standard.
Reproducibility of Bioimpedance Spectroscopy Parameters to Evaluate Skeletal Muscle Properties
Muscle, Scientific validation
Study evaluating the reproducibility of Spectroscopic Bioimpedance (BIS) parameters for characterizing skeletal muscle properties. Results demonstrate good measurement stability and sensitivity to variations in muscle length and circumference, suggesting the capacity to detect structural and functional alterations.
→ A relevant tool for monitoring muscle disorders and supporting rehabilitation protocols.
