Abstract
Background: The measurement of body parameters such as body weight, body fat %, and body water % is crucial in assessingthe health and fitness status of individuals. The Actofit Pro Max/Max and Inbody 270 bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)machine are commonly used for this purpose, but their comparative accuracy has not been extensively studied.Methods: A comparative study was conducted over 319 subjects comprising athletes, standard body type, and obesesubjects. The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between the body parameters measured over 30 days ofinterval with Actofit Pro Max/Max and Inbody 270 BIA machine. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to calculate thedata correlation.Results: The results of the study showed that the change in the body weight, body fat %, and body water % measured over30 days of interval with Actofit Pro Max/Max is highly correlated with that of the Inbody 270 BIA machine (r = 0.95, P < 0.001).Conclusion: The Actofit Pro Max/Max and Inbody 270 BIA machine showed a high correlation in measuring body parameterssuch as body weight, body fat %, and body water %. These findings suggest that both devices can be used interchangeablyfor body parameter measurement
