Standardisation of bioelectrical impedance analysis for the estimation of body composition in healthy paediatric populations: a systematic review

Date:

2017

Authors:

Brantlov S., Jødal L., Lange A., Rittig S., Ward L.

Journal:

Journal of medical engineering & technology

Topic:

This review analyzes the standardization of bioelectrical impedance (BIA) measurements of studies conducted in healthy pediatric populations. Standardization of methodology is essential for the clinical use of this technique. Therefore, this paper offers suggestions for improving standardization in future research.

Reliability and Intermethod Agreement for Body Fat Assessment Among Two Field and Two Laboratory Methods in Adolescents

Date:

2012

Authors:

Vicente-Rodríguez G., Rey-López J., Mesana M., Poortvliet E., Ortega F., Polito A., Nagy E., Widhalm K., Sjöström M., Moreno L., HELENA Study Group

Journal:

Obesity

Topic:

Bod-Pod, DXA, BIA, and anthropometry are all reliable methods for assessing body fat percentage (%BF). However, %BF obtained by Bod-Pod and BIA is significantly higher than %BF obtained by anthropometry and DXA.

Bioelectrical impedance vector values in a Spanish healthy newborn population for nutritional assessment

Date:

2019

Authors:

Redondo-Del-Río M., Escribano-García C., Camina-Martín M., Caserío-Carbonero S., Cancho-Candela R., de-Mateo-Silleras B.

Journal:

American journal of human biology

Topic:

Vector bioimpedance analysis (BIVA) revealed different vector distributions among male and female Spanish neonates. The data provide tolerance ellipses for healthy neonates, useful for detecting changes in hydration and cell mass during the first 3 days of life.

The weight for length in late preterm infants assessed with bioelectrical impedance is positively associated with anthropometric variables

Date:

2023

Authors:

Gómez Santos E., López Lorente F., Fernández Fructuoso J., Cortés Mora P., Fuentes Gutiérrez C., Bosch Giménez V.

Journal:

Anales de pediatria

Topic:

Birth weight at 12 months is strongly associated with fat mass index (FMI) at 1 year of age on preterm and term infants. Preterm infants show differences in body composition compared to term infants.

Prevalence and outcome of malnutrition in pediatric patients with chronic diseases: Focus on the settings of care

Date:

2019

Authors:

Diamanti A., Cereda E., Capriati T., Giorgio D., Brusco C., Liguori A., Raponi M.

Journal:

Clinical Nutrition

Topic:

Pediatric patients with chronic diseases show a prevalence of malnutrition of 56.7% among inpatients, 33.3% in outpatient and 28.3% in day-hospitals. Hospitalized patients have greater nutritional alterations, with significant correlations between malnutrition and prolonged hospitalization.
