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.

Among inflammation and coagulation markers, PAI-1 is a true component of the metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: Evidence for being a true component of the metabolic syndrome is strong for PAI-1, less for leukocyte count and weak for vWF and fibrinogen, according to the NCEP-ATPIII criteria.

Bioimpedance measurements of human body composition: critical analysis and outlook

TL;DR: This paper attempts to fully describe the current use of impedance in the body composition field with major strides made and the method now poised to enter mainstream clinical medicine.

Validation of a bioelectrical impedance analysis equation to predict appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM).

TL;DR: BIA permits the prediction of ASMM in healthy volunteers and patients between 22 and 94 years of age and a slightly larger, though clinically not significant, error was noted in patients.

Body composition in growth hormone-deficient adults

TL;DR: Body composition in a group of growth hormone (GH)-deficient adults was compared with a control group matched for age, sex, body height, body weight, and body mass index by using bioelectrical impedance and deuterium oxide-dilution methods and hydrodensitometry.

Liver-fat accumulation and insulin resistance in obese women with previous gestational diabetes.

TL;DR: In obese women with previous gestational diabetes, LFAT, rather than any measure of body composition, is associated with features of insulin resistance.

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.
