Ambulation, balance, and lower extremity bone mass and strength are all partially dependent on lower limb skeletal muscle mass. At present, both research and clinical methods of evaluating lower limb skeletal muscle mass as a component of nutrition assessment are limited. One potential simple and inexpensive method is lower extremity bioimpedance analysis (BIA). The present study had two objectives: to examine the determinants of lower limb resistance, with the underlying hypothesis that fluid-containing muscle is the main electrical conductor of the lower limbs; and to establish if a correlation of equivalent magnitude and similar covariates is observed when height squared (H2) is used instead of lower limb length squared (L2) in multiple regression models relating resistance to independent variables.
