This assessment is carried out with the bioimpedance balance, a simple, easy-to-use, and noninvasive instrument that is based on the different behavior of biological tissues when a low-intensity electric current is passed through them. The impedance balance calculates body composition using the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method. Harmless low-voltage electrical signals, starting from the unique pads on the scale platform, pass through the body. The signal thus transmitted, flows easily through the muscles and lean tissues (good conductors) due to the high content of water and electrolytes, while, due to the limited presence of fluids, it encounters more resistance if it passes through body fat. This resistance is called impedance. The impedance data collected are entered into mathematical formulas, the result of medical research to calculate body composition.<g id=\"0\"/>The impedance is obtained from two bioelectric parameters: resistance and body reactance. Resistance is the opposition offered by the body to the passage of an alternating electric current, and is inversely correlated with water and electrolytes contained in the tissues. In contrast, reactance is correlated with the capacitance properties of the cell membrane. Variations in this parameter may depend on the integrity, function and composition of the cell. BIA, in recent years, with new technologies and materials, has become the best combination of accuracy, repeatability, speed of measurement, economic investment and patient tolerance. The parameters measured are:";
