  1. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and Vasoconstriction Taylor Guffey Lauren Morgan Harry Han Shelby Hassberger Daniel Kim Elizabeth Morris Rachel Patel RaduReit

  2. Problem Statement & Purpose • Develop a hypothesis in which we test a factor, other than misuse and malfunction, that affects the analysis of body fat percentage. • The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the temperature of the room can affect the body fat percentage reading for an individual.

  3. Hypothesis Groundwork • Buono study finds ambient air temperature affects BF% reading • 20°C difference1 • Why air temperature? • Deghan study concludes vasodilation decreases BF% reading2 • Increase in skin temperature • Therefore, vasoconstriction increases BF% reading • Decrease in ambient air temperature to decrease skin temperature

  4. Hypothesis Null Hypothesis • There will be no difference in the readings of body fat percentage from 24oC to 4oC as measured by the bioelectrical impedance analysis. Alternative Hypothesis • There will be a statistically significant increase in body fat percentage readings from 24oC to 4oC as measured by the bioelectrical impedance analysis.

  5. Pilot Study • Follows trend suggested by Deghan

  6. Sample Size • Sample size derived from pilot study • 23 estimated for statistical significance • 24 used in experiment • Error with input of subject A1 data

  7. Materials/Methodology • 2 groups, 12 subjects each • 24°C hot room (PBL room in Whitaker) • BIA readings=Control • Space heater to maintain hot room temperature • 4°C cold room (in IBB) • Thermometerused to monitor room temperature • Read and sign consent form • Given Instruction sheet • Assigned alphanumeric ID on name tag • Given Data card with corresponding ID • Offered a jacket for experiment (both rooms)

  8. Materials/Methodology • Clock to record time of subject’s entry • Height taken with meter stick • Weight taken with spring scale • Survey given to determine ineligible subjects • Omron HBF-360 Fat Analyzer to measure body fat % of subject http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/omron_HBF-306.jpg

  9. Methodology • Two groups • A1-12 and B1-12 • Time limited to 3 hours • 38 minutes per trial • 2 trials • Subjects enter hot room 30 seconds apart • Last 2 subjects enter 1 minutes apart

  11. Data

  12. T-Score Calculation XD = Mean of the differences SD = Standard Deviation of the differences n = Sample size μ0=Population mean

  13. Statistical Analysis • Student’s Matched-Paired One-Tailed T-test • Null Hypothesis is rejected • p < .05

  14. Analysis 1.237

  15. Outliers Q1 Q2 Q3

  16. Discussion • Null hypothesis is rejected • Statistically significant increase in BIA readings • Average increase in BF% reading by 1.237% • Data supports the alternative hypothesis

  17. Improvements • Smaller sample size • Small p-value • Multiple devices per room • (same device used on subject throughout)
