Whether the evaluation of body composition in obese people using low-cost, simple bedside, two-compartment techniques reflects the data obtained by indirect methods such as dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the data obtained by three methods of assessment of body composition (DEXA; bioelectrical impedance, BIA; and near infrared interactance, NII).
