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.About:

High body fatness, but not low fat-free mass, predicts disability in older men and women: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
M. Visser,Jean A. Langlois,Jack M. Guralnik,Jane A. Cauley,Richard A. Kronmal,John A Robbins,Jeff D. Williamson,Tamara B. Harris +7 more
TL;DR: The results showed that high bodyfatness is an independent predictor of mobility-related disability in older men and women, and high body fatness in old age should be avoided to decrease the risk of disability.

The effect of growth hormone administration in growth hormone deficient adults on bone, protein, carbohydrate and lipid homeostasis, as well as on body composition.
Arjen Binnerts,G R Swart,J H Wilson,Nicoline Hoogerbrugge,H. A. P. Pols,Jan C. Birkenhäger,S. W. J. Lamberts +6 more
TL;DR: The effect on bone, protein, carbohydrate and lipid homeostasis as well as body composition of the administration of growth hormone to adult patients with growth hormone deficiency was studied.

Dehydration: physiology, assessment, and performance effects.
TL;DR: This article provides a comprehensive review of dehydration assessment and presents a unique evaluation of the dehydration and performance literature, suggesting a ≥ 2% dehydration threshold for impaired endurance exercise performance mediated by volume loss.

Assessment of Dry Weight in Hemodialysis An Overview
Jack Q. Jaeger,Ravindra L. Mehta +1 more
TL;DR: It is evident that a better understanding of both interdialytic fluid status and fluid changes during hemodialysis is required to develop a precise measure of fluid balance and the need for a marker of adequacy for fluid removal is explored.

Women and men have similar amounts of liver and intra-abdominal fat, despite more subcutaneous fat in women: implications for sex differences in markers of cardiovascular risk
Jukka Westerbacka,A. Cornér,Mirja Tiikkainen,Marjo Tamminen,Satu Vehkavaara,Anna-Maija Häkkinen,Jenny Fredriksson,Hannele Yki-Järvinen +7 more
TL;DR: Men and women with similar amounts of intra-abdominal and liver fat do not exhibit sex differences in markers of insulin resistance (serum insulin, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and adiponectin), and intra-ABdominal fat is independently associated with liver fat, whereas subcutaneous fat is not.

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.
