Topic:
This huge observational study including over 8,000 bioimpedance measurements on as many obese subjects, turns out to be the largest Italian study on body composition in obese subjects.
Thanks to this landmark study, new norms have been defined on specific bioelectrical parameters for subjects with BMI> 30, setting the basis for the development of new equations adapted for patients suffering from obesity. The prevalence of low muscle condition has been analyzed and new ways of interpreting body composition data trough bioimpedance analysis in severe obese patients have been discussed.
