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.

Factors associated with serum retinol, α-tocopherol, carotenoids, and selenium in Hispanics with problems of HIV, chronic hepatitis C, and drug use

TL;DR: It is concluded that hepatitis C is an important determinant of low serum micronutrients, and should be considered in any nutritional assessment of HIV infected populations, and policy for appropriate HIV clinical care should distinguish between populations with and without hepatitis coinfection.

Microalbuminuria in systolic and diastolic chronic heart failure patients.

TL;DR: In systolic HF patients microalbuminuria was associated with factors known to be markers of worse prognosis, and in the diastolic HF group, the presence of microalbum inuria was not associated with any known risk factor.

Estimation of Bone Mineral Content from Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Indian adults aged 23-81 years: a comparison with Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry

TL;DR: A new BIA equation for prediction of Bone Mineral Content (BMC) against Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in Indian adults was found valid in subjects with large variations in Body Mass and age.

Identification and Validation of New Anthropometric Techniques for Quantifying Body Composition

TL;DR: The addition of bioelectric impedance does improve the predictions of body composition from anthropometry alone compared to corresponding estimates from densitometry, and in those women who do not participate in some form of regular exercise, predictions ofBody composition from Stature/Resistance plus anthropometry do differ significantly from those of women whoDo exercise regularly.

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.
