Validation of body composition determination by bioelectrical impedance analysis in acromegaly

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to compare body composition measurements using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and densitometry for determining total body water and fat free mass in acromegalic individuals. Total body water and body fat body fat values measured with BIA showed positive correlation to anthropometric measurements. This indicates that BIA which was previously used to measure body composition in normal subjects can be used in patients with acromegaly.

Assessment of foot-to-foot bioelectrical impedance analysis for the prediction of total body water

Article Abstract:

A new study investigates the precision of the foot-to-foot impedance method for predicting total body water. It is shown that, at population levels, there is a similarity between results obtained using foot-to-foot impedance predictions and measured total body water, but volume increases cause escalating underestimation of total body water.
