The aim of our study was to validate three different bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) methods for estimating body composition (BC). First, we generated BIA prediction equations based on the 4-C model as the reference method for fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM), and on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) estimations of appendicular lean mass (ALM) and truncal fat mass (tFM). Then, we performed cross-validation in an independent BMI-, sex-, and Tanner-stratified sample of 450 children/adolescents. The three BIA methods showed good correlation and concordance with DXA BC estimations. However, agreement analyses showed significant biases, with increasing subestimations of FM and tFM, and overestimations of ALM, by all three BIA methods. In conclusion, the three BIA methods analysed in this study, provide valid estimations of BC for total body and body segments, in children and adolescents who are of a healthy weight, overweight, or obese. It should be noted that this validation cannot be extrapolated to other BIA methods.
