OBJECTIVE To elucidate early change of intra-abdominal fat in response to calorie restriction in patients with obesity by weekly evaluation using a dual bioelectrical impedance analysis (Dual BIA) instrument. METHODS For 67 Japanese patients with obesity, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome, intra-abdominal fat area (IAFA), initially with both Dual BIA and computed tomography (CT), and in subsequ...

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a widely used method for estimating body composition, yet issues concerning its validity persist in the literature. The purpose of this study was to validate percentage of body fat (BF) values estimated from BIA and skinfold (SF) with those obtained from hydrodensitometry (HD). Percent BF values measured via hand-to-hand BIA (BIAH), foot-to-foot BIA (BI...

purpose the purpose of this investigation was to compare a practical measurement of fat free mass index (ffmi) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia) to the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dexa) value in collegiate athletes. methods thirty-three male baseball players and 16 female gymnasts volunteered to participate in this study during their respective pre-season. subjects visited the l...

BACKGROUND Estimation of body cell mass (BCM) has been regarded valuable for the assessment of malnutrition. AIM To investigate the value of segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for BCM estimation in malnourished subjects and acromegaly. METHODS Nineteen controls and 63 patients with either reduced (liver cirrhosis without and with ascites, Cushing's disease) or increased BCM (a...

Year class strength of many fishes often is determined by survival through the first winter. Increased fat reserves improve survival and overall cohort success. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) methods are established for estimating proximate composition of adult brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), but none have been developed for early life stages. Small-fish BIA would provide...

CONTEXT Malnutrition in cirrhotic patients with end-stage disease is common, and the degree of nutritional debilitation can play an important role in the pathogenesis of complications and cause a negative impact on prognosis. However, it involves difficulties and controversies regarding the identification of the best nutritional assessment method. OBJECTIVE To identify a method that provides ...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for colorectal neoplasia. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a novel and convenient method to measure body fat mass. The correlation between BIA and adenoma risk is unknown. AIMS To conduct a cross-sectional study to evaluate BIA and other measures of obesity as risk factors for adenomas. METHODS Participants underwent screening colonoscopy between...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Severe obesity imposes physical limitations to body composition assessment. Our aim was to compare body fat (BF) estimations of severely obese patients obtained by bioelectrical impedance (BIA) and air displacement plethysmography (ADP) for development of new equations for BF prediction. METHODS Severely obese subjects (83 female/36 male, mean age=41.6+/-11.6 years) had BF e...
