The study of the body composition using an instrumental method of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) requires consideration of many factors, so the researchers again turn to the assessment of somatic components using analytical method based on anthropometry and compare the results of both methods for different groups. In our study, the comparison of two methods of assessing body composition was conducted in the group of students of Moscow State University (147 females and 78 males from 18 to 27 years). The examination included anthropometry with further quantitative assessment of somatic components by the estimated equations of J. Matiegka, and bioelectrical impedance analysis with the analyzer ABC-01 "Medass". For comparison of the results obtained by both methods, correlation analysis was applied. The analysis confirms high and statistically significant correlations of the results of two methods.

Keywords:body composition, anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, correlation analysis.
