Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Introduction
- Obesity is the most serious public health problem because it is linked to cardiovascular diseases.
- Measuring fat mass is necessary to study the obesity epidemic.
- Fat mass can be estimated by measuring impedance of the human body.
Conclusions
- A novel bioelectrical impedance analyzer for body fat estimation.
- Device validated for 40 healthy human subjects against commercial analyzer.
- Great potential to replace commercial analyzers for wearable real-time body fat monitoring.
