Fig. 1: Box plots distribution of DSMF-BIA and DXA lean, ASMI and % body fat values.

From: Validation of a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis device for the assessment of body composition in older adults with type 2 diabetes

Fig. 1

Box plots showing the mean values (represented by X), median values (inner line within the box), interquartile range (IQR) (Q1–Q3) values and lines indicating variability outside the upper and lower quartiles (minimum = Q1 – 1.5*IQR; maximum = Q3 + 1.5*IQR) values of: A arms lean body mass; B legs lean body mass; C ASMI; D % fat. DSMF-BIA distribution is represented by the left box in each sub-figure; DXA distribution is represented by the right box in each sub-figure. ASMI appendicular skeletal mass index, DSMF-BIA direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impendence analysis, DXA dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
