Abstract
Background: The assessment of visceral adiposity is essential for the management of obesity. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been established as a practical method for the assessment of visceral adiposity. Methods: We compared two BIA methods (seca, mBCA 515; Omron, HDS-2000) of assessing visceral adiposity. Results: Visceral adipose tissue volume measured using seca mBCA 515 was highly correlated with visceral fat area measured using HDS-2000; however, they were differently correlated with waist circumference and body mass index, respectively. Conclusions: The seca mBCA 515 can distinguish fat mass from lean mass more accurately compared with conventional BIA methods.
