Abstract

This paper presents the bioelectrical tissue conductivity (BETC) analysis of Malaysian adults using bioelectrical impedance. A total of 142 subjects (91(64.1) female and 51(35.9) male) with no past medical history were studied. The BETC was measured using phase angle (a), resistance (R), reactance (Xc) and body capacitance (BC). There is a significant difference (P<0.001) in the BETC mean values of the subjects. The mean phase angles measured were 7.4±0.8° and 6.3±0.6° with corresponding mean body capacitances of 818±158pF and 557±101pF for male and female, respectively. The results show that a and BC mean values are higher in the male than the female. However, the female R (635±71.5Ω) and Xc (69.9 ± 8.4Ω) were higher than the male R (504 ± 63.4Ω), and Xc (64.6 ± 6.8Ω), respectively. These results show that the BETC values in Malaysian adults are in agreement with the normal healthy subjects at large. © 2004 IEEE.
