TOTAL BODY WATER AND FAT-FREE MASS: EVALUATION OF EQUATIONS BASED ON BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS IN INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN INDIA
The association of early postnatal growth with diseases in adults such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes and CHD has generated interest in studying postnatal growth. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a useful measure to estimate total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM). We evaluated three published equations (Fjeld et al.
