Multidimensional prediction approach in the assessment of male volleyball players' optimal body composition: the case of two elite European teams

Int. j. morphol; 39 (4), 2021
SUMMARY: This research aimed to create a multidimensional equation for predicting an optimal body composition model for elite-level European male volleyball players. The subject sample consisted of 36 elite volleyball players: national team members from two European countries - Slovenia and Serbia - in t...

A low phase angle determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis is associated with oropharyngeal dysphagia among institutionalized older adults

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) and its association with body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and functionality among institutionalized older adults. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted. The swallowing function and...

Relación del volumen de agua corporal total, el extracelular, y preeclampsia. Revisión narrativa de la literatura

Med. UIS; 34 (2), 2021
RESUMEN La preeclampsia es una importante causa de mortalidad materna mundial, identificar de manera temprana las gestantes con riesgo de desarrollarla, es una medida preventiva de gran impacto. La medición del agua corporal se ha documentado desde 1994, y desde 2015 se demostró su relación con el rie...

Int. j. morphol; 39 (3), 2021
SUMMARY: The primary aim of this study was to determine the morphology of elite canoe slalom paddlers and to identity if morphology differences existed between kayak and canoe paddlers. The survey included a total of 74 canoe slalom paddlers who competed in the 2018 European Championship. These competito...

The disparity of measuring bone mineral content using bioimpedance and dual-energy absorptiometry in the context of hyperparathyroidism

J. bras. nefrol; 43 (2), 2021
Abstract Introduction: Body composition is critical for the evaluation of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and can be obtained from either multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA). Although the discrepancy between the results obtained from both ...
