This study aimed to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and height-adjusted resistance (R/H), reactance (Xc/H) and phase angle (PhA). A total of 61 male and 64 female subjects aged over 60 years were recruited from middle Taiwan. The R and Xc were measured using Bodystat Quadscan 4000 at a frequency of 50 kHz. BMD at the whole body, L2–L4 spine, and dual femur neck (DFN), denoted as BMD Total , BMD L2–L4,  and BMD DFN , were calculated using a Hologic DXA scanner. The R-Xc graph was used to assess vector shift among different levels of BMD. BMD was positively correlated with Xc/H and negatively correlated with R/H ( p  < 0.001). The General Linear Model (GLM) regression results were as follows: BMD Total  = 1.473–0.002 R/H + 0.007 Xc/H,  r  = 0.684; BMD L2–L4  = 1.526–0.002 R/H + 0.012 Xc/H,  r  = 0.655; BMD DFN  = 1.304–0.002 R/H + Xc/H,  r  = 0.680;  p  < 0.0001. Distribution of vector in the R-Xc graph was significantly different for different levels of BMD Total , BMD L2–L4  and BMD DFN . R/H and Xc/H were correlated with BMD in the elderly. The linear combination of R/H and Xc/H can effectively predict the BMD of the whole body, spine and proximal femur, indicating that BIVA may be used in clinical and home-use monitoring tool for screening BMD in the elderly in the future.
