BIA is considered reasonably accurate for measuring groups, of limited accuracy for tracking body composition in an individual over a period of time, but is not considered sufficiently precise for recording of single measurements of individuals.
What are the pros and cons of bioelectrical impedance analysis?
- Pros: BIA is easy to measure and can be done fully clothed. ...
- Cons: One of the assumptions of a valid BIA assessment is that the body is adequately and consistently hydrated.
How accurate is InBody analysis?
How Does the InBody Scale Compare to a DEXA Scan? The InBody Scale has been found to be 98% as accurate as a DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan. One major benefit of the InBody Scale over a DEXA scan is that patients do not need to be subjected to any radiation.
