As highlighted in table 1, body fat (lb and %) on BIA and US significantly decreased while muscle mass (lb and %), fat free mass, RMR, Godin, FMS, and balance for both sides exhibited significant improvement following the exercise. After the program whole body phase angle, grip strength...
Body composition and regional fat deposition are important indicators of chronic disease risk.HAMRS2lowers body fat levels when replacing digestible carbohydrate (Pawlaket al., 2004), with increasedlean body mass(Kiriyama,et al., 1996). More specifically, regional changes inbody fat distributionoccurre...
Body composition is often altered in psychiatric disorders. Using genome-wide common genetic variation data, we calculate sex-specific genetic correlations amongst body fat %, fat mass, fat-free mass, physical activity, glycemic traits and 17 psychiatric traits (up toN = 217,568). Two patte...
Body fat and body measurements offer a far better and more accurate way to track your progress over time. Tracking total weight doesn't consider your body composition, body fat and water levels. Lean mass also known as lean body weight refers to total weight minus body fat. When calculation...

Percentage body fat estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis A body-composition analyzer for BIA (model 1990B; Valhalla Scientific, San Diego) was used for the measurement of whole-body electrical resistance and impedance. To minimize measurement errors, the NHANES data-collection process used well...
Findings from this study demonstrated that a multi-faceted intervention can improve preschool children’s body composition and physical fitness. Children in the intervention center had less gains in body fat percent (−1.35%) and fat mass (−0.55 kg) and more gain in muscle mass (+0.48 kg...
Fat mass and fat free mass at age 23 years Participants’ whole body composition was measured according to standard procedures with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA; Hologic QDR 4500A, Bedford, USA) by a trained technician. A daily calibration of the DXA machine was performed using a pha...
