The novel application of artificial neural network on bioelectrical impedance analysis to assess the body composition in elderly

BACKGROUND: This study aims to improve accuracy of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) prediction equations for estimating fat free mass (FFM) of the elderly by using non-linear Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BP-ANN) model and to compare the predictive accuracy with the linear regres...
