[Realization of a new segmental bioelectrical impedance method for assessing body composition: correlation analysis of human body parameters].

The method of segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis for assessing body composition requires measurement of segmental lengths and cross-sectional areas; thus its complexity is increased. This paper reports the correlation analysis of human body parameters and the linear regressions for predicting segmental parameters by use of gender, height and weight. Accordingly, segmental impedance analysis is simplified.
