摘要: A method and apparatus for determining body composition of a subject is provided. The determinations can include total fat, lean mass, water, inter-cellular fluid and/or extra-cellular fluid. subject's treated as plurality segmented conductors, each the segments having relatively uniform cross-sectional area. By one or more exemplary segments, be determined. in accordance with present invention selects introduces current flow through segments. impedance which presents to measured by pair voltage sensing electrodes positioned at end Preferred thigh, trunk, upper arm. length segment its cross sectional area are used, well gender subject, combination bioelectrical determine composition.
