PURPOSE Body composition is strongly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors, and accurate measurement of body composition is vital for the management of chronic diseases. In this study, we assessed whether major factors such as urination, aerobic exercise, food, and water consumption had significant effects on body composition by segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). METHODS To achieve the goal of this study, research was conducted on 32 healthy young males (n=18) and females (n=14). All participants underwent body composition analysis in four different conditions (both pre- and post-urination, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 30 minutes, immediately after food and water consumption, 30, 60, and 120 minutes after each treatment), and segmental BIA was performed using Inbody720. RESULTS We found that after urination, body weight, skeletal muscle mass, and basal metabolic rate (BMR) significantly decreased. However, water intake significantly increased body weight, body fat mass, and body fat percentage. Furthermore, an acute 30-minutes aerobic exercise significantly decreased body weight, fat mass, and fat percentage, and increased skeletal muscle mass and BMR. In addition, impedance decreased immediately and increased 120 minutes after the acute aerobic exercise. Finally, food ingestion significantly increased the body weight, skeletal muscle mass, and BMR. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that variables such as urination, exercise, food consumption, and water intake should be considered to accurately assess body composition.
