The objective of this study was to establish the relationships between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures (resistance and reactance) and temperature and to determine if corrections improve BIA models for brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis when used over a wide range of temperatures. Both resistance and reactance significantly decreased as temperature increased. Application of temper...

BACKGROUND In this article (the second of two companion studies), we report whether bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can be used to predict muscle mass in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and whether using this predicted muscle mass can improve the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). METHODS Seventy five non-diabetic patients with CKD (mean age +/- SD, 65.1 +/- 12...

This study aimed to establish a hand-to-hand (HH) model for bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) fat free mass (FFM) estimation by comparing with a standing position hand-to-foot (HF) BIA model and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA); we also verified the reliability of the newly developed model. A total of 704 healthy Chinese individuals (403 men and 301 women) participated. FFM (FFMDXA) ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to generate and validate a prediction equation for estimating the body composition in dancers using the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as a method of assessment. METHODS The fat-free mass (FFM) of 42 young female professional dance students was estimated by four different methods: dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), BIA, simple anthropometry, and skinfol...

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...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the reproducibility of the measurement of% body fat by bipedal biometrical impedance analysis (BIA) compared with anthropometric measurements of adiposity in children and the correlations between these methods in children and adults. METHODS A cross-sectional study in a total of 1080 adults and children enrolled in 1999 in the Fleurbaix-Laventie Ville Santé II (FLVS II) ...

Whether multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA), a relatively new method for measuring body composition, is also applicable for accurate body composition measurements in renal transplant (RTx) patients is not known. Therefore, the use of MF-BIA is validated in 77 RTx patients with a stable renal function at least 2 yr posttransplantation. MF-BIA is compared to isotope dilution ...

Policymakers concur that social investments are crucial, and inequality must be decreased to accomplish long-term poverty reduction. Nigeria, one of the 20 poorest countries in world, has a severely unequal society at moment, with over 80% people living deep, severe, pervasive poverty, an estimated 5% population possessing 85% country’s resources. This article’s focus is on how benefits dispers...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare skinfold thickness (SKF) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) of body composition using three different equations against dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in overweight and obese Brazilian women. SUBJECTS AND METHOD Thirty-four women (age 43.8 +/- 10.9 years; body mass index [BMI] 32.1 +/- 4.3 kg/m(2)) had percentage body fat (BF%...

Background: An estimated 43,390 breast augmentation surgeries (86,780 implants) and 1486 implant reconstructions are performed annually in Colombia, representing the second-most surgery destination South America, fourth western hemisphere, fifth country worldwide. No previous reports have evaluated incidence of implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) epidemiology or outcome...
