Study of correlation between daily calorie intake (DCI) and body composition in type 2 DM patients using bioimpedance analysis as a screening tool

Evaluation of body composition (BC) represents a valuable screening tool to assess nutritional status among diabetic patients. The most commonly used methods evaluate BC in the clinical practice are based on bicompartmental models such as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) etc. Factors like daily caloric intake (DCI), percentage total water (%TBW), muscle mass and bone changes that occur these components with age could be related development type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). objective study is use Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) correlation between parameters This was conducted 200 T2DM patients aged 25-45 years for duration 6 months an urban out-patients clinic after obtaining proper informed consent ethics committee approval. A multifrequency monitor TANITA MC 980 analyse mass, %TBW. impedance readings were entered into medically researched formulae calculate composition. results correlated DCI. showed strong DCI (p<0.01). Scatter diagram analysis has significant at p<0.01. No observed metabolic Joint regression by ANOVA %TBW p<0.05. increasing basal rate It also shows BIA useful studies assessing
