Description
Summary:•The phase angle (PhA) may have relevant practical application.•The bioimpedance spectroscopy can monitoring the bone health.•Men and women showing a different relationship between PhA and bone health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between crude bioimpedance variables with bone mineral density (BMD) in older adults. One hundred eighty-four older men and women (≥ 60 years old) composed the sample. BMD (whole-body) was measured through dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Bioimpedance spectroscopy was used to estimate whole-body resistance and reactance as well as to calculate the phase angle (PhA) and fat-free mass (FFM). Age, gender, body mass, FFM, height, calcium intake, vitamin D intake, number of fractures, number of diseases, and number of medications were included as covariates in the regression analyses. BMD fractions were significantly (P
