Electrical Testing
The properties of the BIA circuit in the body
are well defined. The method [of measurement] is
precise, sensitive and specific in its ability
to illustrate specific changes inherent in the
biological subject.
The BIA provides a scientific index - a
'snapshot' of cellular level dynamics and
architecture, giving valuable and immediate data
of the individual?s state of health and healing
from many protocols including medical research,
clinical practice and the health care
professional analysis and recommendation.
BIA prediction measurement
equations have been developed since 1939. The
measurements use parallel resistance and
reactance as predictors of intracellular,
extracellular and body cell mass. These
equations can specify if cellular health is
static, progressing and/or regressing.
(Comparisons to K40, DEXA and D20 were very good
(r > .9) and are sufficient to be used in
clinical practice and studies of wasting
disorders in AIDS patients.[
