The use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is widespread both in healthy subjects and patients. There are new technique, Electrical impedance myography (EIM) for the evaluation of muscle quality. The composition myography has important features, the first is that the electrical current can be applied at a range of frequencies. Different tissues are sensitive to the frequencies. The second feature is that electrical current flows more easily along the muscle fibers than across them. This feature also allows us to discriminate muscle from other tissues. Objective To determinate the fat‐free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM) and Muscle quality (MQ) in adults and their relationship with quality of life (QoL). Methodology Information of the body composition was obtained by EIM and BIA, information was used to determinate FM and FFM percentages. Quality of life was obtained by EuroQol‐5D. Information of the dietary intake was obtained by 24‐hour recall. Statistical analysis included a paired t test, to determinate the differences between body compositon techniques; and linear regression analysis to determinate the effect of the MQ and the QoL. Results Forty‐six adults (33 males and 67 females) were evaluated. The mean amount of energy, fat, protein, and carbohydrates were 2200.1 kcal/d (SD=500), 65 gr/d (SD=25), 71 gr/d (SD=13) and 233 gr/d (SD=60), respectively; The FM as 33%, high, the prevalence in overweigth was 53%. MQ was good in 36%. The amount of EQ‐5D as 0.82 (SD=0.15). The MQ was entered into the linear regression model as a continuous variable, the QoL were significant (p=0.031) Conclusion Electrical impedance myography has a potent facility to measure the fat‐ mass and muscle quality synthesis, where body composition measure should be considerate. This nutritional dietary analysis indicate a protein deficit 15%, that makes available a free pool to replace the protein degradation when the amount FFM is adequate. Further research must be done in order to link the muscle quality and functionality to quality of life.
