Assessing Visceral Fat Percentage with Advancing Age in Women using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Obesity and related morbidities are rising globally. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between visceral fat percentage (VF%) and advancing age in 126 female participants aged 20-70 years. These participants underwent anthropometric measurements and Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). The correlation between VF% and advancing age was 0.42 (P<0.001). BIA is a simple and effective measurement technique for estimating VF%, which can be performed by trained health professionals. This study demonstrated a strong correlation between VF% and advancing age in females.
