Early 1980s: Limits of Early BIA
- Early BIA made body composition assessment taster and more accessible, but its technology had limitations.
- Most systems relied on a single frequency and a simplified model of the human body, making it harder to account for differences in body shape, fluid distribution, and hydration.
* As adoption grew, so did the need for greater precision. This drove the development of segmental measurements and multi-frequency approaches.
