USE OF BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE FOR THE ESTIMATION OF SKELETAL MUSCLE MASS IN ELDERLY MEN
The aim of the present study was twofold: a) to determine the agreement between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for the estimation of skeletal muscle mass (SMM), and b) to [...]
FLUID CHANGES DURING PREGNANCY: USE OF BIOIMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY
The increase in body water during pregnancy is responsible for the largest portion of weight gain and is of interest of clinical practitioners. However, assessing changes in body fluids is not easily accomplished during pregnancy. [...]
BODY WATER COMPARTMENT MEASUREMENTS: A COMPARISON OF BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS WITH TRITIUM AND SODIUM BROMIDE DILUTION TECHNIQUES
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This study was undertaken to assess the comparability of body water compartment estimates in healthy volunteers using single and dual frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) with established reference methods of tritium and [...]
VALIDITY OF BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS TO ESTIMATE BODY COMPOSITION CHANGES AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY IN PREMENOPAUSAL MORBIDLY WOMEN
In obese patients, subtle variations of the hydration of soft tissues can propagate errors in bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures of body composition. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) is a useful method to evaluate tissue [...]
