BIA is the clinical assessment of tissue and fluid compartments in the human body. Simply explained, BIA measures the impedance or resistance of an electrical current as it travels through the water found in muscle and fat. A normal distribution of tissue and fluid in the body is associated with high immunological function and longevity.
BIA is most useful in combination with dieting and exercise, since it illustrates the conversion of fat body mass to lean body mass.
Other uses of BIA include:
- Extra-cellular water verses intra-cellular water to determine electrolyte balance and water absorption of your body
- Basal Metabolic Rate to determine your ideal caloric intake
- Total body capacitance, which determines your ability to store energy
