AIMS To determine the most suitable anthropometric and impedance measures and current frequency for the application of bioelectrical impedance to neonates receiving intensive care; and to derive predictive models for the estimation of total body water. METHODS Twenty eight babies (median gestational age 30.5 weeks, range 24-38; median birthweight 1.388 kg, range 0.690-3.510) were each studied...

OBJECTIVE To establish reference standards for percentage body fat measured in Hong Kong Chinese children, by methods involving bioelectrical impedance analysis. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Thirty-six randomly selected primary and secondary schools and a teaching hospital in Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS A total of 14 842 students randomly selected from the schools and two additional ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the nutritional status and estimate body composition of Indian children from Xingu Indigenous Park (XIP), rain forest Amazon region, by using anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance (BI) tests. METHODS One hundred and sixty-four Indian children (89 girls and 75 boys) of unknown age were evaluated by means of anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance. Weight and height ...

Background & AimsBioimpedance parameters are important for assessing children's body composition and health status. However, interpreting these is still challenging, especially without reference data cut-off points.This study aimed to describe gender-specific phase angle (PhA) values bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) plots healthy Brazilian children.MethodsChildren aged 6–9 years w...

Although hypoalbuminaemia after injury may result from increased vascular permeability, dilution secondary to crystalloid infusions may contribute significantly. In this double-blind crossover study, the effects of bolus infusions of crystalloids on serum albumin, haematocrit, serum and urinary biochemistry and bioelectrical impedance analysis were measured in healthy subjects. Ten male volunte...
