Abstract: The purpose of this study was to validate a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) equation for prediction of Bone Mineral Content (BMC) against Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in Indian adults. Healthy 113 subjects were investigated by two methods: BMC was measured by DXA and bioelectrical impedance at various frequencies was measured by a commercial segmental multi-frequency BIA instrument. Body parameters were derived from impedance data and a new BIA equation was developed for the estimation of BMC, which exhibited high correlation and low prediction error. It was found valid in subjects with large variations in Body Mass (BM) and age.
