Assessing Visceral Fat Percentage with Advancing Age in Women using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis

Obesity and related morbidities are rising globally. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between visceral fat percentage (VF%) and advancing age in 126 female participants aged 20-70 years. These participants underwent anthropometric measurements and Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). The correlation between VF% and advancing age was 0.42 (P<0.001). BIA is a simple and effective measurement technique for estimating VF%, which can be performed by trained health professionals. This study demonstrated a strong correlation between VF% and advancing age in females.
