Background/Aim: Our previous study revealed the association between extracellular water-to-total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) and therapeutic durability of chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced lung cancer. We retrospectively examined usefulness ECW/TBW detecting frailty compared to other bioelectrical impedance (BIA) parameters a larger number patients. Patients Methods: L...

Background The utility of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) derived adiposity measures as compared to anthropometric measures for the assessment of adiposity-related health risk is not clear. We aimed to clarify the relationships of BIA and anthropometric derived adipose measures with blood pressure and hypertension, and to compare the discriminative ability of the respective measures for ...

Foot-to-foot bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is simple and non-invasive, making it particularly suitable for use in children. There is insufficient evidence of the validity of foot-to-foot BIA compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as the criterion method in healthy young children. Our objective was to assess the validity of foot-to-foot BIA against DEXA in a large cohort ...

Introduction: Body composition is becoming important to be taken into account, as it not only an integral part of individual nutritional assessment but also a biomarker in acute or chronic diseases. Percentage and distribution body fat clinically most interest play significant role determining cardiovascular risk. Various modern methods have been developed determine percentage for hospital sett...

Ninety-eight commercial crossbred lambs, average weight 55.1 kg (+/- 4.95), were used to evaluate bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as a prediction method for fat-free tissue from live lambs and lamb carcasses. Lambs were transported to the abattoir, restricted from feed for 10 h, weighed (LWt), and measured for body resistance (Rs, ohms), body reactance (Xc, ohms), and distance between de...

Due to the lack of full agreement as best indicators for obesity diagnosis and type, aim this study was assess comparative classification capabilities with use BIA results selected anthropometric indices in individuals aged 20–60 years. This a cross-sectional observational among 368 Caucasian subjects Body size four skinfolds measurement were taken. To individual body composition, bioelectrical...

BACKGROUND In clinical practice, patient friendly methods to assess body composition in obese adolescents are needed. Therefore, the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) related fat-free mass (FFM) prediction equations (FFM-BIA) were evaluated in obese adolescents (age 11-18 years) compared to FFM measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (FFM-DXA) and a new population specific FFM-BIA equ...

Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) triple combination therapy has been reported to positively affect nutritional status in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Besides the increase weight, data on body composition alterations related CFTR modulator are scarce. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) shown fairly estimate various patient populations. We aimed compare BIA results children CF at...

validation of predicting fatness methods in the iranian girls with respect to the maturity process could help to identify anthropometric risk factors. this study evaluate the accuracy of four body composition prediction equations in the teenager students in hamadan city .method: the anthropometry profile of 266 adolescent girls (12-16 ys) including ,weight (55.69±10.18 kg),body mass index (21.9...
