TLDR
Data indicate that the bioelectrical impedance technique is a reliable and valid approach for the estimation of human body composition and further validation of this method is recommended in subjects with abnormal body composition.About:

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Sarcopenia Among Nursing Home Older Residents
Francesco Landi,Rosa Liperoti,Domenico Fusco,Simona Mastropaolo,Davide Quattrociocchi,Anna S. Proia,Andrea Russo,Roberto Bernabei,Graziano Onder +8 more
TL;DR: The present study suggests that among participants living in nursing homes, sarcopenia is highly prevalent and it is more represented among male residents (68%) than among female residents (21%).

Lean body mass as a predictor of drug dosage. Implications for drug therapy.
Denis J. Morgan,Kelly M. Bray +1 more
TL;DR: There is mounting evidence to suggest that lean body mass (LBM) may be a better predictor of drug dosage than either total bodyweight (TBW) or body surface area (BSA), although the rationale for this is not clear.

Effects of Identical Weight Loss on Body Composition and Features of Insulin Resistance in Obese Women With High and Low Liver Fat Content
Mirja Tiikkainen,Robert Bergholm,Satu Vehkavaara,Aila Rissanen,Anna-Maija Häkkinen,Marjo Tamminen,Kari Teramo,Hannele Yki-Järvinen +7 more
TL;DR: LFAT appears to be related to the amount of fat in the diet rather than the size of endogenous fat depots in obese women, and is regulated by factors other than intra-abdominal or subcutaneous fat or fasting serum free fatty acids.

Comparison of body composition and periodontal disease using nutritional assessment techniques: Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).
TL;DR: This study indicated significant correlations between body composition and periodontal disease (with WHR being the most significant, followed by BMI, FFM, and S), showed similarities to those observed in other obesity-related health problems.

TL;DR: Within-subject and mixed designs of Factorial Design have been studied in this article, where the Principal Two-Factor Within-Factor Effects and Simple Effects have been used to estimate the effect size and power of interaction components.

The Analysis of Variance
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of analysis of variance by considering several different mathematical models is examined, including fixed-effects models with independent observations of equal variance and other models with different observations of variance.

Densitometric analysis of body composition: revision of some quantitative assumptions*
TL;DR: It is shown that in a system consisting of two additive components which are mixed but the densities of which are known, the determination of the density of the system allows one to calculate the proportional masses of the two components.
