When estimating body composition using bioelectrical impedance,dehydration caused by insufficient water intake,excessive perspiration,heavy exercise,or alcohol use can result in ________.
A)an overestimation of fat mass
B)an underestimation of fat mass
C)no change in the estimate of fat mass
D)None of the choices are correct.
