Body composition measurement results obtained by DXA Lunar Co Ltd DPX L 37 Hi Causes of errors in impedance measurements BIA measures impedance and calculates body composition on the basis of this impedance It is known however that impedance can vary due to changes in the quantity and distribution of body water which accounts for approximately 60 of body weight as well as changes in body temperature Therefore when measurements are being taken for research purposes or on a daily basis uniform measurement conditions must be ensured Consideration should be given to two types of changes in impedance inter day changes and intra day fluctuation cyclic changes within a single day In the 8 electrode method full body measurements use the impedance between the arms and legs while measurements for specific body parts use the impedance of those particular body parts The reasons for changes in impedance are different for the upper limbs and the lower limbs Given that the impedance of the trunk is extremely low a mere 5 10 of the impedance between hands and feet changes involving the trunk can be almost wholly ignored when measuring the impedance between hands and feet and the changes for the upper and lower limbs are synthesized When studying intra day and inter day changes with the 8 electrode method it is thus necessary to determine the respective changes for the upper and lower limbs 1 Intra day fluctuat

11. Intra day changes are thought to occur in unique cycles arising from differences in the rhythm of individual daily routines occupations and day to day activities Consequently to obtain consistent measurement figures it is recommended that measurements be taken under the following conditions 1 Measuring three hours or more after waking up with normal day to day activities carried on during this time simply sitting or traveling by car will keep impedance high 2 Measuring three hours or more after last eating impedance tends to fall for 2 to 3 hours after a meal 3 Measuring twelve or more hours after vigorous exercise changes in impedance vary depending on the type and intensity of the exercise done 4 Urinating before the measurement 5 Measuring as far as possible at the same time every day in the case of repeated measurements more dependable measurements can be obtained if body weight and impedance are both measured at fixed times Complying with the conditions above should result in very consistent measurements When developing this device the following six conditions were established in deriving the regression formula 1 No alcohol less than 12 hours prior to measurement 2 No vigorous exercise less than 12 hours prior to measurement 3 No excess food and drink on the day before measurement 4 No food and drink less than 3 hours prior to measurement 5 Urination immediately before measurement 6 No measurements dur
