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.

A new method for monitoring body fluid variation by bioimpedance analysis: The RXc graph

TL;DR: A new approach is presented for routine monitoring of the body fluid variation in the single patient, without making any assumption on body composition, based on the analysis of the bivariate distribution of the impedance vector in a healthy population and in patients with increased body weight, due to either obesity or edema from renal diseases.

Study design, exposure variables, and socioeconomic determinants of participation in Diet, Cancer and Health: a population-based prospective cohort study of 57,053 men and women in Denmark.

TL;DR: Results from the prospective cohort study ``Diet, Cancer and Health'' support the general assumption that lower socioeconomic groups are underrepresented in epidemiological studies.

Responses of Leptin to Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding in Humans: A Link With Ketogenesis but Not Ketones Themselves

TL;DR: The study indicates that one of the adaptive physiological responses to fasting is a fall in serum leptin, although the mediator that brings about this effect remains unknown, it appears to be neither insulin nor ketones.

Single prediction equation for bioelectrical impedance analysis in adults aged 20–94 years

TL;DR: Inclusion of reactance in the single prediction equation appeared to be essential for use of BIA equations in populations with large variations in age or body mass.

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.
