Özet
This study aimed to investigate the effects of aging on body composition analyses detected by a single-frequency (SF-BIA) and a multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer (MF-BIA). Forty older patients and 42 young subjects were included in the study. Body composition was measured using an SF-BIA and an MF-BIA consecutively. Significant differences were found between the analyses of SF-BIA and MF-BIA in older patients. Handgrip strength values were found to correlate more strongly with the skeletal muscle mass index detected by MF-BIA. MF-BIA may be preferable to SF-BIA in older adults due to its higher correlation coefficient with handgrip strength.
