TLDR
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis is a reliable, non-invasive, safe and effective method of determining body composition in healthy individuals as well as in patients with diabetes, hypertension, obesity and other diseases.Abstract:
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a reliable, non-invasive, safe and effective method of determining body composition in healthy individuals as well as in patients with diabetes, hypertension, obesity and other diseases. BIA is about measuring the overall electrical resistance of the body, which is related to both passive and active resistance (reactance) using a set of surface electrodes connected to a computer analyser and by means of known intensity and frequency of electrical current. The parameters assessed are: total body water (TBW), intra-cellular body water (ICW), extra-cellular body water (ECW), body cell mass (BCM) and thus body fat mass (FM) and lean, fat-free body mass (FFM). BIA allows for following body composition changes during dietary programs and helps tune the diet adequately to them. BIA test results are influenced by variable factors dependent on correct usage of the measuring device and appropriate preparation of the individual to be examined.read more

Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in comparison: prevalence, metabolic profile, and key differences. A cross-sectional study in Italian hospitalized elderly

TL;DR: Sarcopenia is closely linked to an increase in the risk of hip–femur fractures, inflammation, edema, and malnutrition, and the subjects seem to benefit from the “obesity paradox.”

Serum leptin and adiponectin levels in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus – Relation to body fat mass and disease course
TL;DR: Differences observed between children with T1DM and their healthy coevals, when similar in terms of age, body weight, and body fat mass, seem not to depend directly on the disease duration, its metabolic control or insulin supply.

Serum resistin concentrations in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus — negative relation to body fat mass
TL;DR: Diminished serum resistin concentrations and a negative correlation between resistin levels and body fat mass in children with type 1 diabetes seem to result from broken physiological adipo-insular regulations, independent of disease duration, its metabolic control and insulin supply.

Use of different methods for testing morphological characteristics and evaluation of body tissue composition of swimmers
TL;DR: The aim of this research was to describe the level of morphological development and body proportions of swimmers in comparison to their non-practicing peers, and observed differences indicate that depth, circumference and mobility of the chest developed in swimming have a positive influence on the respiratory system.

Bioimpedance Analysis as a Method to Evaluate the Proportion of Fatty and Muscle Tissues in Progressive Myopathy in Pompe Disease.
TL;DR: The new possibility of using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) to assess the relative proportion of fatty and muscle tissue in diseases associated with muscle atrophy, thus enabling the assessment of disease progression and the effectiveness of treatment is reported.

Body fat assessed from total body density and its estimation from skinfold thickness: measurements on 481 men and women aged from 16 to 72 years
J. V. G. A. Durnin,J. Womersley +1 more
TL;DR: Skinfold thicknesses at four sites – biceps, triceps, subscapular and supra-iliac – and total body density were measured on 209 males and 272 females aged from 16 to 72 years, finding it necessary to use the logarithm of skinfold measurements in order to achieve a linear relationship with body density.

TL;DR: The use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is widespread both in healthy subjects and patients, but suffers from a lack of standardized method and quality control procedures.

Validation of tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance method to assess human body composition.
TL;DR: The validity and reliability of the tetrapolar impedance method for use in assessment of body composition in healthy humans is established, with a lower predictive error or standard error of the estimates of estimating body fatness than did a standard anthropometric technique.

TL;DR: The TOBEC and BIA methods, which are based on the differing electrical properties of lean tissue and fat and which are convenient, rapid, and safe, correlate well with more cumbersome human body composition techniques.
