Abstract
This study was conducted to establish the relationship between a new b
ioelectrical parameter, total body capacitance (TBpF), as an expressio
n of body cell mass, measured using an impedance analyser and basal me
tabolic rate (BMR), by indirect calorimetry in 75 healthy subjects (38
females and 37 males, aged between 13 y and 43 y). A significant high
correlation was found between TBpF and BMR (r = 0.992, SEE = 238 kcal
) with the equation: BMR (kcal:day(-1)) = Capacity (pF) x 2.29. (C) 19
