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.

The effect of profiled hemodialysis on intradialytic hemodynamics when a proper sodium balance is applied.

TL;DR: Sodium-balanced, Na-profiled HD improves blood pressure preservation in stable HD patients without providing the patients with a sodium load, due to a better stroke volume preservation early in dialysis, without a significant reduction in blood volume decrease.

Malnutrition syndrome, but not body mass index, is associated to worse prognosis in heart failure patients

TL;DR: A lower body mass index does not predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among chronic heart failure patients, independently of other nutritional, body composition, and clinical status parameters.

Comparison of abilities of various interpretations of bio-electrical impedance to predict reference method body composition assessment.

N.J. Fuller
- 01 Aug 1993 - 
TL;DR: Estimates of fat-free mass were relatively more acceptable because fat- free mass was (as is the usual case) the larger of these two body components, and for most purposes these could well be unacceptable.

Comparison of extra-cellular fluid volume measurement in children by 99Tcm-DPTA clearance and multi-frequency impedance techniques.

TL;DR: Comparisons of extra-cellular fluid (ECF) volume estimates made by isotope dilution and electrical impedance techniques have been made in a group of 16 children suggesting that more accurate and detailed measurements are required.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis in the measurement of the body composition of surgical patients.

TL;DR: Results show that BIA is of limited value in the estimation of TBW but may provide a useful index of TBK.

Design and Analysis - A Researcher's Handbook

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.
