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 [...]

BODY WATER SPACES AND CELLULAR HYDRATION DURING HEALTHY AGING
Age-related changes in the proportions of intracellular or extra-cellular water to total body water and in the ratio of total body water to fat-free mass are debatable. These are important issues both for medical reasons [...]
