Description

de Lorenzo et al repoorted an equation for predicting fat-free mass for children using bioelectircal impedance analysis. The authors are from University Tor Vergata and University La Sapienza in Rome.


Patient selection: children from 7.7 to 13 years of age

 

Parameters:

(1) height in centimeters

(2) impedance in ohms

(3) body weight in kilograms

 

fat-free mass in kilograms =

= (0.588 * ((height)^2) / (impedance)) + (0.211 * (weight)) + 2.330

 

Performance:

• r is 0.96 and SEE 1.0 kg
