Abstract This paper presents a solution for sphere-shaped heterogeneities applied to the bioimpedance test. Such an approach has applicability for electrical impedance tomography, considering the impedance response for e...

INTRODUCTION: A practical, inexpensive and reliable method is needed for assessment of volume status in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this study the effi ciency of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) for detection of hyperv...

OBJECTIVE: Hypervolemia and malnutrition are often undiagnosed risk factors for hemodialysis (HD). Our aim was to investigate the long-term effects of hypervolemia and malnutrition evaluated by bioimpedance spectroscopy ...

OBJECTIVE: Body composition analysis is useful technique for assessing hydration, nutritional status and predicting clinical outcomes. Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a cheap and noninvasive tool for monitoring body compo...

Body composition analysis is relevant to characterize the nutritional requirements and finishing phase of fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ichthyometric (weight, total and standard ...

Total body water (TBW) has recently been recognized as having independent prognostic value in hemodialysis patients because of its relationship with hypertension and cardiac morbidity. The aim of this study is to investi...

Objective: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) can be used to determine hypervolemia and malnutrition in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this prospective observational study, we investigated the survival predictabilit...

OBJECTIVE: Most patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) consume a normal Western diet that contains a large amount of salt. This causes increase in extracellular volume (“fl uid overload”) that has to be removed mostly ...

Dry.weight (DW), could be defined as the postHD weight where the patient is in a state of normohydration. We evaluated the clinical relevance of bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) and inferior vena cava (IVC) sonograph...

Abstract A decrease in resting muscle O2 uptake (V̇O2m) described during bed rest (BR) could determine a decreased whole‐body resting energy expenditure (REE), potentially useful during prolonged spaceflights. Two gro...

OBJECTIVE: Protein-energy-wasting (PEW) is common and contributes to increased mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Herein we aimed to investigate the relationships between the parameters of malnutrition including di...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito de um programa de exercício na massa gorda (MG), área de adiposidade visceral (AAV), massa muscular esquelética (MME) e índice de massa muscular esquelética (IMME) de mulheres pós-menopá...

BackgroundAutistic children experience disproportionately high rates of malnutrition compared to non-autistic (NA) peers. Sensorimotor integration differences (SMD), prevalent in 69–95% of autistic individuals, are hyp...

The somatic parameters and body composition are important indicators of physical fitness and general health not only non-athletes, but of athletes. The aim of this study was to determine the somatic characteristics and b...

Abstract Background Sarcopenia, altered bone and systemic metabolism, physical frailty and cognitive decline are age-dependent and interrelated phenomena. Sleep disorders which are erroneously considered as part of the a...

Abstract Background Evidence regarding health effects of ultra-processed food (UPF) in children is scarce and contradictory. Therefore, the aim was to assess the associations between UPF intake and anthropometric measure...
