Introduction. It should be considered that the body constitution which is widely used in the preventive
and clinical medicine, leaves an imprint on the body mass index. The objective of this work is to study
the features of body mass index and fat body mass in females of different constitutional and age ...
Abstract Objective: Systematically assess studies that have analyzed the psychometric properties of multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux. Systematically verify studies that have analyzed the psychometric properties of multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH ...
Background: Equations for the evaluation of fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) with Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were formulated in Caucasian populations. International recommendations suggest that population-specific equations should be formulated. Aim: To validate an equation previously fo...
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy-related diseases have aggravated the situation of postpartum women, who end up using Mechanical Ventilation (MV) when admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU). Although MV has benefits, it is associated with deleterious effects that can be minimized with the use of Electrical Impeda...
ABSTRACT Objective To assess the utility of bioimpedance (BIA) and skinfolds thickness (SF) in body fat percentage measuring (%BF) compared to the reference method dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in Brazilian reproductive age women, as well as to estimate of inter- and intra-observer precision f...
Contexto: Pacientes com câncer podem apresentar involução do estado nutricional devido a alterações metabólicas determinadas pela doença e ao tratamento, e a avaliação nutricional pode identificar precocemente a desnutrição e permitir intervenção adequada. O uso da bioimpedância elétrica t...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to examine the body composition of adult male ultra-trail runners (UTR) according to their level of participation (regional UTR-R, vs. national UTR-N). METHODS The sample was composed of 44 adult male UTR (aged 36.5±7.2 years; UTR-R: n=25; UTR-N: n=19). Body...

Abstract Objective: To evaluate preoperative and postoperative body fluid distribution with a bioelectrical impedance analyzer in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods: Fifteen adult patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass were included in this study. Total body fluid changes, basal me...
Resumo Contexto O lipedema é caracterizado como uma deposição anormal de gordura em glúteos e pernas bilateralmente, que pode ser acompanhada por edema ortostático em mulheres. Foi publicado questionário de avaliação sintomática em lipedema em alemão e inglês para avaliação de evolução de...
Abstract Objective: To analyze the dual interference between cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Methods: Forty-three individuals admitted for CIEDs implantation were submitted to a tetrapolar BIA with an alternating current at 800 microA and 50 k...
