Eight individuals with cerebral palsy (two female, mean age=10 years, mean gross motor function classification=4.6 severe motor impairment) recruited from an outpatient tertiary care setting underwent measurement of fat mass, fat-free mass, and percentage body fat using BIA, anthropometry (two and four skinfold equations), and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Correlation coefficients were calculated for fat mass, fat-free mass, and percent body fat for these measures as determined by BIA and anthropometry when compared with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Correlation coefficients were excellent for determination of fat-free mass for all methods (ie, all were above 0.9). Correlations were moderate for determination of fat mass and percent body fat (range=0.4 to 0.8).
