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 [...]
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 [...]
