Introduction: Bioelectrical impendance analysis (BIA) and dual enargy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) are two most common methods used for body composition analysis. The aim of this study was to investigate: i) if there is a correlation between body mineral content (BMC) determined by BIA and by DXA for bone mineral content (BMC) and ii) correlation of BMC (BIA) vs bone mineral density (BMD) of L1–L4 spine, dual femur total mean and neck mean.Methods: Tw...
