The body fat percentages of adult young women (n=44) were measured by two different instruments using whole body Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Body fat percentages from bioelectric impedance were different from each other. The notes at using the body fat percentage from bioelectric impedance in nutritional education were considered. 1) As a result of measuring with two kinds of body fat percentage instruments, an average of 3.2±1.8% and a maximum of 6.3% of difference was in the percentage of body fat. 2) The difference between the body fat percentages by two instruments could not be explained by height, weight, Body Mass Index, arm circumference, arm muscle circumference, tricepts skinfold thickness. 3) Since validity of body fat percentage from Bioelectric Impedance is not clear, the body fat measurements should be used carefully.
