There is a critical need for improved technologies to monitor fluid balance and body composition in neonates, particularly those receiving intensive care. Bioelectrical impedance analysis meets many ...

Cross-validation of methods of body composition assessment necessitates statistical evaluation of the degree to which the two methods are in agreement. Typically, impedance-based methods for ...

Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a noninvasive and rapid method for estimating body composition, including body fat and muscle mass. Previous studies have indicated that bioelectrical impedance can ...

To investigate the impact of coffee consumption on fluid balance, 12 healthy volunteers were supplied with a standardized diet for 2 days after having abstained from consumption of methylxanthines for ...

Body condition directly affects survival and reproduction by animals, so its effects on fitness represent an important component of animal ecology. Traditionally, ecologists have relied on direct ...

Smart scales track changes in your muscle mass, body fat percentage and other health metrics — but how do smart scales work, and how accurate are they? When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

(A) Water molecules exhibit charge offsets in an alternating electric field. (B) Brain lesions such as bleeding foci, cerebral edema, and infarcts alter electrical impedance, which can be detected via ...

Body fat scales provide a rough estimate of your body composition based on your weight and other factors. However, research suggests that smart scales may not be fully accurate at measuring body fat.

A new University of Florida Health study shows that body mass index, or BMI — commonly used to measure obesity and health risk — fails in predicting the risk of future death, suggesting the ...
