Carla had her body fat measured using a method that sent a low level of electrical current through her body, which is known as
A) BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis).
B) DXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry).
C) MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
D) EKG (electrocardiogram).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The method that is described in the question, which sends a low level of electrical current through the body, is known as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Therefore, the best choice is A. DXA is a method that uses X-rays to measure bone density, while MRI is a method that uses magnetic fields to produce detailed images of internal body structures. EKG is a method that measures the electrical activity of the heart.
