Body composition determination by means of bioimpedance analysis in healthy volunteers
Talová, Barbora ; Kovařík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Hronek, Miloslav (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biological and Medical Sciences Student: Barbora Talová Supervisor of master thesis: PharmDr. Miroslav Kovařík, Ph.D. Title of master thesis: Body composition determination by means of bioimpedance analysis in healthy volunteers The aim of this thesis in theoretical part was to elaborate the existing knowledge about the composition of a human body and methods used for evaluation of body fat. The second aim was to compare the conformity and differences among several methods used to determine total and visceral fat. A total of 43 women participated in the study. They were divided into two groups according to their BMI. The first group consisted of 35 women with normal BMI (21.2 ± 2.2). The second group consisted of 8 obese women with a BMI of 43.4 ± 8.7. Three methods were used to determine body fat in the body-bioimpedance method with bipedal electrode arrangement (Tanita instrument), bioimpedance method with Abdominal fat analyzer and skinfold thickness measurement. The body fat percentage was determined by using the Deurenberg, Brozek, Siri, Bunc and Parizkova calculations. Significant statistical differences between the measured groups were found in age, weight and BMI. A greater amount of fat mass and a lower proportion of...
