Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare two methods of measuring body composition in children aged 6-10 years: with a traditional bioelectrical impedance analyser and a foot-to-foot impedance device. In 117 subjects (55 girls, 62 boys), bioelectrical impedance was measured using a Xitron 4000 device and a foot-to-foot impedance instrument (Rowenta); body fat mass and fat-free mass were then calculated and comparisons between means were performed using appropriate statistical tests.Entities:
