Abstract :
Bioimpedance analysis or bioelectrical impedance provides information related to the degree of hydration and nutrition, which exists in the human body. In recent years it has boomed creating many monitors that provide us with different items, such as, fat mass, fat-free mass, total body water, among others. This article aims to inform the principles of electricity needed to comprise a related Bioimpedance as well teach what this new discipline interface.
