PageBIA and Anthropometric Study Guide
What does BIA stand for?
What level current is used?
What is impedance (Z)?
BIA actually estimates _____ to determine ______ and then _____ can be calculated. (total body water, FFM, %BF)
Does adipose tissue have much water?
Will resistance be higher or lower in obese persons?
The FFM is approximately what % water?
BIA assumes the body is shaped like a ____________.
The fixed signal strength of BIA is (50, 60 or 70 kHz)?
FFM is a ____(good or poor) conductor of electrical current.
FM is a ____(good or poor) conductor of electrical current.
Flow follows the path of _____(most, least?) resistance.
What % of adipose tissue is water?
Population-specific modes of BIA account for what variables? (all of these: age, ethnicity, gender, activity level, fatness)
The error in FFM (?kg) for women with BIA is what?
The error in FFM (?kg) for men with BIA is what?
What are some advantages of BIA over SKF?
The supine BIA measuring technique at the hand and foot is known as what type of method (determined by number of electrodes)?
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW EVERY ONE OF THE GUIDELINES (6 in all)!
What are some of the standardized procedures when using BIA?
What is wrong with the arms touching the trunk or the legs touching each other? (this will short circuit the electrical path, dramatically affecting the impedance value0
Is it O.K. to use different analyzers in repeated measures tests?
Where can the technician make a significant error with BIA measurement?

How do you calculate WHR?
What are some advantages of antropometric measurements.
Are circumferences more accuratge predictors of BF than SKF in obese persons?
Is the WHR associated with visceral or subcutaneous BF?
