Abstract

[Purpose] To examine the clinical usability of various home body composition meters in comparison with conventional devices based on bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). [Subjects and Methods] The study involved 108 and 83 healthy young males and females, respectively. Body composition measurement was initially performed using conventional body composition meters based on different BIA methods. Subsequently, body weight, BMI, body fat (%), and total, four-limb, and trunk muscle mass measurements were performed using each home body composition meter. On statistical analysis, measured and calculated values were compared, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated for males and females separately. [Results] Among males, the body weight, BMI, total muscle mass, left and right leg and trunk muscle mass, lean mass, SMI, and FFMI varied, and all items showed a markedly strong correlation. Among females, there were differences in the body weight, BMI, body fat rate, left and right leg and trunk muscle mass, fat level, and FMI. [Conclusion] Measured values slightly varied among the home body composition meters, but the results support their clinical usability.
