Fat-free mass prediction equation for Moroccan women in the 1st trimester of pregnancy using bioelectrical impedance analysis and deuterium oxide dilution
Determination of body composition by deuterium oxide dilution, development and validation of bioelectrical impedance prediction equation for Moroccan women in the 1st trimester of pregnancy.
Multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis in normal and hypertensive pregnancy
The aim of the present study was to assess longitudinal changes in body water compartments in pregnant women and to correlate these measurements with the course of pregnancy.
Comparison of isotope dilution with bioelectrical impedance analysis among HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected pregnant women in Tanzania
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple tool to assess total body water (TBW), from which body composition can be estimated using statistical equations. However, standard BIA equations have not been sufficiently validated during pregnancy, in HIV infection, or in sub-Saharan Africa. We therefore compared TBW estimates from multifrequency BIA with those from the reference method deuterium isotope dilution (Deut) in a cohort of 30 HIV-uninfected and 30 HIV-infected pregnant women from Tanzania.
