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:

Experienced consent in geriatrics research: a new method to optimize the capacity to consent in frail elderly subjects.
TL;DR: Research experience improved the capacity to consent, still enabling an acceptable participation rate, and experienced consent seems a promising tool to optimize informed consent in frail elderly subjects.

Principal components analysis of regional bone density in black and white women: relationship to body size and composition.
TL;DR: Body composition analysis done on a subset of black women indicated that the fat component of body mass may be the more important factor in its effect on bone mass, and adjustment for body size reduced bone mass differences by approximately 50%.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that BIA, applied to the cerebral parenchyma, is a valid method for the prediction of brain water contents under both normal and pathological conditions, however, further studies are needed to establish whether it is sensitive and reliable enough for future clinical applications.

Lack of relationship between 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase setpoint and insulin sensitivity in the basal state and after 24h of insulin infusion in healthy subjects and type 2 diabetic patients *
TL;DR: To test whether insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with an altered overall setpoint of the 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11βHSD) mediated cortisol to cortisone Inter‐conversion towards cortisol, and to evaluate whether changes in insulin sensitivity induced by antecedent hyperinsulinaemia are related to changes in the 11 βHSD setpoint.

Changes in body composition after childhood cancer treatment : Impact on future health status - A review
TL;DR: Diminished physical activity, early adiposity rebound and/or hypothalamic involvement of tumour or treatment, and subsequent growth hormone deficiency, may play a role in the development of obesity in childhood cancer survivors.

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.
