Comparisons of Two Bioelectrical Impedance Devices and Manual versus Sensor-Based Short Physical Performance Batteries for Assessment of Muscle Mass and Physical Performance

The assessment of muscle mass and physical performance is essential for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. This study examined the validity of bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and a sensor-based short physical performance battery (SPPB) device for analyzing appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) and physical performance. Forty-one older adults were measured for ASM and physical performance with two BIA devices (InBody770 vs. T-SCAN PLUS III) and two SPPB devices (manual mSPPB vs. sensor-based sSPPB). Validity statistics included the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland–Altman plots to examine the agreement of data from the BIA (InBody770 vs. T-SCAN PLUS III) and the SPPBs (mSPPB vs. sSPPB). There was a significant ICC for skeletal muscle mass between the T-SCAN PLUS III and InBody770 devices (ICC = 0.8822; p < 0.0001). The mSPPB and sSPPB values showed agreement across all components: 0.8654 for the total scores, 0.8879 for the walking speed, 0.8889 for the chair stand, and 0.6863 for the standing balance. No systemic bias was observed between the two methods for the BIA and SPPB devices. Measurements using the T-SCAN PLUS III and sSPPB seem to be highly correlated with the InBody770 and mSPPB devices in older adults and may be valid for assessing muscle mass and physical performance.
