Energy balance
Mean changes in percent body fat ([INCREMENT]%BF), fat mass ([INCREMENT]FM), and fat-free mass ([INCREMENT]FFM) were not significantly different when comparing MF-BIA with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
Both MF-BIA and DXA can be used interchangeably for assessing body composition changes in this population.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Mean changes were not significantly different when comparing MF-BIA with DXA for [INCREMENT]%BF (-1.05 vs. -1.28%), [INCREMENT]FM (-1.13 vs. -1.19 kg), and FFM (0.10 vs. 0.37 kg, respectively).
