تعصب متقابل بین جذب سنجی اشعه ایکس دوگانه انرژی و تجزیه و تحلیل امپدانس بیوالکتریک بر اساس جنسیت در بزرگسالان فعال مصرف کننده رژیم های غذایی با کربوهیدرات بالا و پایین متفاوت است

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) are common methods of body composition assessment, but the agreement between these methods varies. Bias between DXA and single-frequency BIA was evaluated at 6 different time points in 48 active male and female adults consuming standardized high- and low-carbohydrate diets. It was hypothesized that fixed and proportional biases exist between DXA and BIA but that the extent of bias does not differ based on sex. Substantial fixed bias was present for estimates obtained by DXA and BIA, and both men and women exhibited proportional bias for fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). The magnitude of bias was greater in women, and only women exhibited proportional bias for body fat percentage. In individuals with less FM, the mean difference between DXA and BIA was high, indicating that BIA underestimated FM relative to DXA. However, in individuals with greater FM, better agreement was seen. Correspondingly, the mean difference in FFM estimates was greater in individuals with less FFM. In some individuals with high quantities of FM or FFM relative to the sample, the relationship between devices was reversed such that BIA overestimated FM and underestimated FFM. The degree of disagreement between DXA and BIA varies substantially based on body size and sex such that all-encompassing statements regarding the comparability of these technologies cannot presently be made.
