The Tanita body-fat analyser is a novel device to estimate body fat, based on the principles
of bioelectrical impedance. It differs from other impedance systems which use surface …

Maximum hand-grip (HG) strength, body composition and main anthropometric variables
were evaluated in 278 children with normal weight and growth, aged 5–15 yr divided into 3 …

The main objective of the study was to investigate the safety of conjugated linoleic acid
(CLA) in healthy volunteers. The effect of CLA on body composition was also investigated …

Adolescent obesity is difficult to assess in multi‐ethnic populations using BMI, due to
variability in the BMI–fatness relationship. We aimed to describe body composition (BC), and …

Maternal body composition undergoes a deep adaptative change during the course of
pregnancy. Fat mass, fat-free mass, and total body water (TBW) increase in different ways …

The objective of the present study was to determine the accuracy of two foot-to-foot (FF)
bioelectrical impedance analysers (BIA) to assess body composition in overweight and …

speaking countries, blood ethanol concentrations (BECs) are usually calculated using
Widmark's equation. The distribution factor r of this equation is a correction factor needed to …

Background: Body mass index (BMI) is used to diagnose obesity. However, its ability to
predict the percentage fat mass (% FM) reliably is doubtful. Therefore validity of BMI as a …

Background High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is an easily measured
inflammatory biomarker. This study compared the association of percent body fat mass …

Objective: To develop bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equations to predict total body
water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM) of Sri Lankan children. Subjects/Methods: Data were …
