Impedance ratio as a measure of water shifts
This study focuses on the impact of orthostatic fluid shifts on impedance ratios in body segments and the total body.
Segmental bioelectrical impedance in the assessment of body composition of Sri Lankan children
Over the years bioelectrical impedance assay (BIA) has gained popularity in the assessment of body composition. However, equations for the prediction of whole body composition use whole body BIA. This study attempts to evaluate the usefulness of segmental BIA in the assessment of whole body composition.
Whole body and right lung bioimpedance are more sensitive than proximal bioimpedance at predicting response to intravenous furosemide in patients with acute pulmonary oedema
Bioimpedance (Ω) analysis (BIA) provides a potential measure of body water (1). BIA may predict decompensation in systolic heart failure (2). We tested the utility of BIA in assessing the acute response to intravenous furosemide (ivF) in pulmonary oedema.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in a Mathematical Model for Estimating Fat-free Mass in Multiple Segments in Elderly Taiwanese Males
This research applied bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and Dual-Energy X-ray AbsorptioMetry (DXA) to measure the body composition of Taiwan elderly. We developed the new mathematical estimation model for fat free mass of multiple segments.
