Description:
Abstract:
In this chapter, the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method is presented, as it is commonly known to most people. Along with skinfold measurements, it is perhaps the most widely used method by healthcare professionals for measuring body composition of patients. The chapter is divided into four parts in which the principles of the method, its application methods and variations, as well as its possibilities and prospects are presented. Finally, a completely different method is presented, Bioelectrical Conductivity (known internationally as TOBEC), which, however, is also based on a similar property of the body, namely bioelectrical conductivity.
