Background/Objectives Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) whole-body and regional raw parameters have been used to develop prediction models to estimate whole-body lean soft tissue (LSTM), with less attention being given to the development of models for regional LSTM. Therefore, we aimed to develop and va...
