Sarcopenia is emerging as a severe complication in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). On the other
hand, it has been documented that nutritional aspects, such as insufficient protein or total …

Background & aims Obesity is characterized by fat mass excess (FM), extra cellular water
increase (ECW) and, with ageing, decrease in fat free mass (FFM). The validity of body …

Purpose The aim of this paper is to investigate whether bioelectrical impedance vector
analysis (BIVA) can be a suitable technique for the assessment of sarcopenia. We also …

Background Bioelectrical Impedance Assessment (BIA) is one of the main tools to measure
body composition. BIA is recommended in fasting and after 60 minutes of rest; however, this …

The lack of standardization of BIA use for assessing muscularity results in a wide range of
sarcopenia prevalence rates among studies, even when conducted in the same population …

Background Aging and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are associated with an increased risk of
sarcopenia. Diagnosis of sarcopenia is commonly done using dual-energy X-ray …

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method extensively used in studies assessing
body composition, especially in view of the high speed of information processing, as a …

Background Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique widely used for
estimating body composition and health-related parameters. The technology is relatively …

Summary Background & Aims Bioelectrical impedance analysis-derived phase angle (PhA)
has been gaining attention in the clinical evaluation of nutritional status because it is thought …

Purpose The extracellular water-to-total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) is used in bioelectrical
impedance analysis (BIA) for measuring muscle mass; however, ECW/TBW may be affected …
