Nutritional status by socioeconomic level in an urban sample from Bilbao (Basque Country).
TL;DR: Estimates of food intake in males did not reveal great differences among samples from different socioeconomic backgrounds, while low SES females had greater intakes of food than the better‐off control sample, and Estimated zinc intake showed differences by SES in both sexes.

Estimation of maximal oxygen uptake by bioelectrical impedance analysis.
TL;DR: It was concluded that a non-exercise model based on BIA might be a rapid and useful technique to estimate V O 2max values, when a direct test does not seem feasible.

A Bedside Measure of Body Composition in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
TL;DR: In a clinical setting, where a rapid assessment of body composition is advantageous, the use of raw impedance values, combined with the equation by Pietrobelli et al., is recommended for the accurate estimation of fat-free mass, in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-An Easy Tool for Quantifying Body Composition in Infancy?
TL;DR: Questions remain in infants regarding the optimal size and placement of electrodes, the standardization of normal hydration, and the influence of body position on the distribution of water throughout the body.

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.
