Evaluation of a foot-to-foot impedance meter measuring extracellular fluid volume in addition to fat-free mass and fat tissue mass

Limits of agreement with DXA-measured FFM produced by the foot-to-foot impedance meter tested are too large for clinical measurements in individuals, but they are sufficient to assess FFM in groups of subjects and for home use. Our prototype was also capable of estimating extracellular water volume with a similar accuracy as multifrequency bioimpedance in normal subjects.
