 note = {The purpose of this study was to clarify the influence of posture change on relative body fat in the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method. The subjects were 30 Japanese healty yound adult males (age: 19.8±1.4years, height: 172.3±5.8cm, weight: 67.1±8.2kg). We used devices with different body segment inductions, between the hand and foot (H - F BIA) and between hands (H - H BIA), and set four measurement conditions differing in posture (supine or sitting), during rest and measurement. The reliabilities. Of %BF in the H - H and H - F BIA methods were very high (r=0.995, 0.966), and the relationship in %BF between the UW methodd and each BIA method was mid - range (r=0.767, 0.709). Although there were no differences in &BF among different measurement postures in the H - F BIA method, %BF in the H - H BIA method increased significantly when the posture was changed just before measurement. This indicated that it is necessary to pay attention to the posture change just before measurement in the H - H BIA method., 金沢大学人間社会研究域人間科学系},
