Assessing nutritional status in older adults requiring long-term care: Interchangeability of bioelectrical impedance analysis and manual methods for upper arm anthropometric measurements.

Values obtained using the bioelectrical impedance analysis method were interchangeable with the values obtained using manual measurement. This shows that upper arm anthropometric measurement using bioelectrical impedance analysis might be useful as a nutritional assessment tool for older adults requiring long-term care.
