Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of a BIA device, Xiaomi MI, against X-scan plus 970. A total of 30 university students and employees (18 women and 12 men) aged between 19 and 50 years were selected. Weight and body composition were measured using Xiaomi MI and Xscan plus 970. The mean age of subjects was 28.9±9.1 for men and 30.4±9.4 for women. There was a strong correlation between X-scan plus 970 and Xiaomi MI scale 2 results (p 0.000). Our results suggest that Xiaomi MI scale 2 is a valid device to measure body composition which makes it appropriate for clinical use.
