OBJECTIVE: Sarcopenia is a common condition among patients with cancer. To better understand the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), we analysed the risk factors of sarcopenia and developed a theoretical foundation for further development of sarcopenia prevention and treatment strategies. METHODS: Six hundred and seventeen patients with HNC were recruited for this cross-sectional observational study, and the data were analyzed using logistic regression analyses...

As people age, their risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) and sarcopenia increases due to the decline in muscle mass and strength. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method used to detect changes in body composition. The primary aim of the study was to determine the distribution of BIA variables among a group of non-DM people and two groups of patients with controlled and uncontrolled DM. The secondary aim was to establish the independent association between BIA-derived data, lipidic assets, and the prevalence of metabolic syndromes with DM...

Osteoarthritis (OA) ranks among the most prevalent inflammatory diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system and is a leading cause of disability globally, impacting approximately 250 million individuals. This study aimed to assess the relationship between the severity of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and body composition in postmenopausal women using bioimpedance analysis (BIA). The study included 58 postmenopausal females who were candidates for total knee arthroplasty. The control group consisted of 25 postmenopausal individuals with no degenerative knee joint changes...

BACKGROUND: This work aims to study the effect of reductions in various body mass components on the oxidative, glycemic, and lipid parameters of people with obesity (PWO). METHODS: A total of 53 PWO underwent a six-month individualized low-calorie diet combined with moderate exercise, during which anthropometric, biochemical, and oxidative parameters were measured. Probands were divided into groups based on weight, visceral fat area (VFA), total body water (TBW), and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) losses...

INTRODUCTION: Neurologically impaired (NI) children are at risk of malnutrition, which consequently impacts their health and quality of life. Accurate nutrition assessment is an important step in guiding appropriate nutrition support. Conventional anthropometric measurements among NI children have some limitations. Determining body composition requires more complex equipment, which is not routinely performed. This study was conducted to evaluate the association between anthropometric parameters and body composition assessed using the deuterium dilution technique (DDT) in NI children...

BACKGROUND: Many hemodialysis (HD) patients report intradialytic symptoms, and take time to recover postdialysis. To improve quality of life, patient groups have highlighted the need to reduce postdialysis fatigue and other peridialytic symptoms. As compartmental shifts of fluid during dialysis have been proposed to cause peridialytic symptoms we investigated whether patients dialysing with higher ultrafiltration rates (UFR) reported more intradialytic symptoms and recovery times. METHODS: We reviewed the hospital records of HD patients who completed a self-reported intradialytic symptom questionnaire, using a visual analogue scale, who had contemporaneous midweek pre- and postdialysis segmental bioimpedance measurements...

The modified Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation, previously developed for an aged-oriented cohort, was validated in a newly obtained dataset. Estimates of creatinine clearance (CCr) using this equation were found to be more accurate than those determined using the conventional CG equation, particularly for patients exceeding 65 years of age. We identified a subset of patients in this cohort whose estimates were inadequate. Using statistical analysis, we found that the deviation from estimates was attributed to a decreased albumin level...

OBJECTIVE: Depression is a common psychiatric disorder and related to poor outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Previous studies have reported some associations between sarcopenia and depressive symptoms. Recently, intracellular water (ICW) and total body water (TBW) have been found to reflect muscle function and muscle mass. ICW/TBW ratio is a marker of sarcopenia that is simple to assess. However, the relationship between ICW/TBW ratio and depression has not been explored in MHD patients...

We examined the association between bioimpedance profiles and optical coherence tomography (OCT) features in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). This cross-sectional study included 100 eyes of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The systemic fluid status was assessed using extracellular water-to-total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) and phase angle (PhA), which was measured using bioimpedance equipment. ECW/TBW was higher in the DR (diabetic retinopathy) with DME group than in the no DR and DR without DME groups ( p = 0...

BACKGROUND: Bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA)-measured body composition and nutritional status have been used as prognostic indicators in various cancer cohorts. This study investigated whether BIA could provide information on prognosis in peritoneal carcinomatosis patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 99 patients with preoperative BIA data among those who underwent CRS and HIPEC...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this cross-sectional evaluation was to determine the associations between raw bioelectrical impedance and cardiometabolic health parameters in a sample of young non-Hispanic White and African-American adults. METHODS: A total of 96 (F: 52, M: 44) non-Hispanic White (n = 45) and African-American adults (n = 51) between the ages of 19 and 37 (22.7 ± 3.83 y) completed several fasted assessments including resting systolic blood pressure (rSBP), blood glucose (FBG), blood lipids, and bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS)...

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is common in patients undergoing surgery for cancers and is a risk factor for postoperative outcomes. Body composition provides information for precise nutrition intervention in perioperative period for improving patients' postoperative outcomes. OBJECTION: The aim was to determine changes in parameters of body composition and nutritional status of cancer patients during perioperative period. METHODS: A total of 92 patients diagnosed with cancer were divided into gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal cancer group according to different cancer types...

OBJECTIVE: Determine if relative body fat (%BF) remains a biological norm in physically active, non-obese American men and women and determine reference values for other components of body composition. METHODS: Participants (n = 174 men, 70 women) were physically fit U.S. Marine 2nd Lieutenants, in their third decade of physical maturity (age 21-30). Body composition was assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA); and body images were obtained by 3D body scans...

BACKGROUND: To date, body composition assessments in Hispanics, computed via bioimpedance devices, have primarily focused on body fat percent, fat mass, and fat-free mass instead of total body water (TBW). Additionally, virtually no information is available on which type of bioimpedance device is preferred for TBW assessments in Hispanic populations. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to validate two bioimpedance devices for the estimate of TBW in Hispanics adults when using a criterion deuterium oxide (D2 O) technique...

In vivo deuterated water (2 H2 O) labeling leads to deuterium (2 H) incorporation into biomolecules of proliferating cells and provides the basis for its use in cell kinetics research. We hypothesized that rapidly proliferating cancer cells would become preferentially labeled with 2 H and, therefore, could be visualized by deuterium magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) following a brief period of in vivo systemic 2 H2 O administration. We initiated systemic 2 H2 O administration in two xenograft mouse models harboring either human colorectal, HT-29, or pancreatic, MiaPaCa-2, tumors and 2 H2 O level of ~ 8% in total body water (TBW)...

BACKGROUND: Acute fluid ingestion increases estimated body fat percentage (BF%) measurements by single frequency (SF-BIA) and multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance (MF-BIA). It is unknown if MF-BIA accurately measures total BF% and total body water (TBW) after creatine supplementation, which causes fluid retention, and resultant increases in fat-free mass and TBW. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of creatine supplementation on body composition and TBW measured through a popular MF-BIA device (InBody 770)...

BACKGROUND: Volume overload is associated not only with clinical manifestations but also with poor outcomes of heart failure (HF). However, there is an unmet need for effective methods for serial monitoring of volume status during HF hospitalization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic implication of serial measurement of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in patients hospitalized with acute HF. METHODS: This study is a retrospective observational study and screened 310 patients hospitalized due to acute decompensated HF between November 2021 and September 2022...

Bioimpedance analysis-assessed extracellular water/total body water (ECW/TBW) ratio may be a marker for mortality and poor nutritional status in hemodialysis patients. In 193 maintenance hemodialysis patients, we retrospectively investigated the relationships among ECW/TBW ratio, mortality, and protein-energy wasting (PEW). Four components-body mass index, normalized protein catabolic rate, normalized serum creatinine level, and serum albumin level-constitute the simple PEW score; this score was calculated based on the positive number of items concerning malnutrition among these four components...

Concerning the health outcomes of intermittent fasting in Ramadan, loss of fat-free mass (FFM) and changes in the content of body water are of paramount importance. In this study, we aimed to assess the concomitant alterations in body water compartment and composition following Ramadan fasting in healthy individuals. We conducted an open-label cohort with longitudinal follow-up, involving 73 healthy medical staff who planned to fast for at least 20 consecutive days during Ramadan. The primary outcomes of the cohort were changes in parameters related to body composition and water content, which were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis by InBody S10 (InBody, Seoul, South Korea)...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study is to assess body hydration in patients with posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). PVD, one of the most common eye diseases, is associated in both research and the collective image with reduced daily water intake, but this finding is not supported by strong evidence in the literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Based on Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) evaluation, different PVD stages are identified: absent posterior vitreous detachment, partial posterior vitreous detachment (P-PVD), or complete posterior vitreous detachment (C-PVD)...
