Bioimpedance analysis is a noninvasive, low cost and a commonly used approach for body
composition measurements and assessment of clinical condition. There are a variety of …

Body composition refers to the amount of fat and lean tissues in our body; it is a science that
looks beyond a unit of body weight, accounting for the proportion of different tissues and its …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The use of phase angle (PhA) and raw parameters of bioelectrical
impedance analysis (BIA) has gained attention as alternative to conventional error-prone …

Whilst the assessment of body composition is routine practice in sport, there remains
considerable debate on the best tools available, with the chosen technique often based …

Percentage of body fat is strongly associated with the risk of several chronic diseases but its
accurate measurement is difficult. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a relatively …

Background There is a need for effective primary care interventions that help older people
combat frailty and build resilience. Objective To study the effectiveness of an optimised …

Background & aims Obesity is characterized by fat mass excess (FM), extra cellular water
increase (ECW) and, with ageing, decrease in fat free mass (FFM). The validity of body …

Background The loss of muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, is a natural process of aging
that is associated with adverse health outcomes regardless of age. Because cancer is a …

Background and aims Skeletal muscle index (SMI) from computed tomography (CT) reliably
assesses sarcopenia, however, it is expensive and involves serial radiation exposure …

Body composition assessment has been used to evaluate clinical interventions in research
trials, and has the potential to improve patient care in the clinical setting. Body cell mass …
