EFFECT OF EQUILIBRATED HYDRATION CHANGES ON TOTAL BODY WATER ESTIMATES BY BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS
The present study was performed to determine how equilibrated fluctuations in hydration affected the validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for body composition assessment. Total body water (TBW) expansion was induced by a 4 d [...]
EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN WATER COMPARTMENTS ON PHYSIOLOGY AND METABOLISM
There is paramount evidence to suggest the importance of cell volume changes for the regulation of cell function, including protein metabolism. Among many other effects, cell swelling inhibits proteolysis and stimulates protein synthesis. However, most [...]
NUTRITIONAL AND HYDRATION STATUS IN ELDERLY SUBJECTS: CLINICAL RATING VERSUS BIOIMPEDANCE ANALYSIS
Malnutrition and dehydration are common in elderly. A simple, reliable instrument to assess nutritional and hydration status would be very helpful. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been promising in this context, but data of elderly [...]
