Comparison of bioimpedance equations and dual-energy X-ray for assessment of fat free mass in a Chinese dialysis population

Purpose Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is simple, noninvasive, inexpensive and frequently used for estimating fat free mass (FFM). The aims of this study were to evaluate the applicability of different BIA equations on FFM in Chinese subjects, and to compare the difference in hemodialysis an...

description Purpose Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is simple, noninvasive, inexpensive and frequently used for estimating fat free mass (FFM). The aims of this study were to evaluate the applicability of different BIA equations on FFM in Chinese subjects, and to compare the difference in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients with healthy controls respectively.Methods Dialysis patients and healthy adults were enrolled in this study, and the subjects were matched by age, gender, and the minimum sample size in each group was calculated using PASS. FFM estimated by BIA was calculated using equations of Kyle, Sun SS and Segal, and TBW/0.73. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method was set as reference method. Pearson’s correlation and Bland-Altman analysis were used to test the validity of the BIA equations.Results 50 hemodialysis (HD) patients, 52 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and 30 healthy adults aged 22–67 y were included in this study. Age, height, weight, BMI and gender did not differ significantly among HD, PD patients, and healthy controls (p > 0.05), but BIA parameters were quite different (p<0.01). Bland-Altman analysis showed that in healthy volunteers, all equations showed good agreement with DXA measured. For dialysis patients, the FFM predictions of different equations showed differences between HD and PD patients, and the equations seemed more applicable for HD patients.Conclusion The equations developed by healthy subjects might be not appropriate for dialysis patients, especially peritoneal dialysis patients. It is recommended to develop a specific BIA equation from dialysis population.
