Abstract
Background: Despite malnutrition being associated with increased mortality and morbidity, there continues to be great difficulty in defining criteria and implementing widespread screening. Tools used to diagnose decreased fat-free mass (FFM [sarcopenia]) should be easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and safe. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has the potential to meet these criteria, but reliability across body mass index (BMI) classes is a concern. Current study compared FFM and percentage body fat (PBF) measurements using segmental multifrequency BIA (S-MFBIA) vs dual-energy x-ray.
