BIAdata pool

We started to build up a BIA-raw-data-pool more than 25 years ago (in 1986)… On the suggestion of the authors of the article we will give the invitation to work together with us in this project! Comparison of fat-free mass and body fat in Swiss and American adults. Kyle UG, Genton L, Lukaski HC, Dupertuis YM, Slosman DO, Hans D, Pichard C

Quotation:
Conclusion: The NHANES and Geneva BIA equations estimate body composition equally well in men. Further research is necessary to determine the discrepancies in FFM between BIA equations in women. The greater weight of the US subjects yielded higher values for FFM, BF, and %BF in US than in Swiss men and women. Free internet-based access of data from the large published studies could aid in promoting the use of reference data by investigators and clinicians using BIA.

Data base:
About 555.000 „cleaned“ raw BIA data R, Xc (50 kHz) from caucasiens measured by different members of the „BIAdata-project“ with: Sex, Age, Height, Weight.

Under discussion to extend with:

  • BIS-Data (R0, Rinf, fc)
  • BIAvi riskfat: VAT, SAT
  • segmental BIA data
  • anthropometrical data (waist-hip-circumferences, sagittal diameter, mid-arm circumference, skinfolds),
  • ethnic group,
  • physical activity,
  • general health status

Body Composition – Reference Data 2019

Die Arbeitsgruppe „AG Wissenschafft“ hat mit mehr als 500.000 Daten aus internationalen Studien über Körperanalysen einen Datenpool geschaffen, der für die kaukasische Bevölkerung eine Erstellung von Normalwerten zulässt. Wir danken allen Wissenschaftlern, die Ihre Daten zur Verfügung gestellt haben.

For example: Fat% female 0-100 years
