Abstract
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been proven an inexpensive, reliable, simple, safe, and noninvasive technique for clinical and non clinical purposes. The ability of BIA to accurately assess body composition is dependent upon a number of technical and biological assumptions. This paper provides an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the BIA method with specific reference to assessment body composition
