“…A recent systematic review on body composition estimation in children showed excellent reproducibility for %BF assessments by BIA. The fat mass and fat-free mass estimated by BIA were strongly correlated with the reference methods in both sexes, however, BIA underestimated the fat mass in both sexes (24).…”

“…BMI is not the best indicator for assessing childhood obesity; it does not distinguish between lean and fat mass and cannot completely identify children who may suffer from health issues related to excess adipose tissue. Moreover, the BF% estimated by BIA had almost perfect reproducibility, making it an applicable research tool in studies that investigate body composition changes at different times [ 34 ]. In Belgian children with higher BF%, lower hydration (over-day osmolality) was found [ 15 ].…”

Background: Little is known on the relationship between obesity and hydration level in children. To explore the possible association between children’s hydration status and body composition, we conducted this cross-sectional study. Methods: The survey was carried out in 2018 in Preliminary and High Schools from the Malopolska Province, Poland. The study group consisted of 264 children aged 7–15 years. The level of hydration was assessed based on urine osmolality during a school day. The examined had anthropometric tests and body composition assessment (FM, BF%, FFM, TBW, TBW%). Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a logistic regression analysis. Results: In the study group, 9.5% of the examined were overweight, 7.2% obese, and it referred more to the country than towns (p < 0.05). Improper hydration was found in 53% of children, and 16.3% of them were severely dehydrated during a school day (urine osmolality > 1000 mOsm/kgH2O). The level of dehydration was higher in children with excessive body fat (BF%) than in children with normal BF% [903.00 vs. 775 mOsm/kgH2O]. Older age (>10 y) showed inverse association with dehydration [OR 0.52 (95% CI; 0.28–0.99)] and excessed BF% showed 2.3-fold increase in odds of dehydration during a school day [OR 2.39 (95% CI; 1.15–4.94)]. Improper hydration was a risk factor of difficulties with concentration declared by students during a school day OR 2.85 (95% CI; 1.16–6.99). Conclusions: Attention should be paid to appropriate hydration especially in children with excessive body fat content who feature a higher risk of dehydration and fluid demand.

“…The research provides ambiguous data on the accuracy of BIA; depending on the publication, it is indicated that there is a tendency to overestimate [35] or underestimate [32] FM or the BF percentage. Regardless of differences in the compliance of measurements with BIA and reference methods, a high correlation between the obtained results is observed [36]. While maintaining repetitive analysis conditions, BIA is an invaluable help in monitoring changes in body composition in individual patients [37].…”

Overweight, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in paediatrics represent issues of increasing importance. To complete diagnostics and extend patient monitoring, body composition measurements can be used. Nowadays there are a number of methods that allow the estimation of the content of individual tissues. Their accuracy and replicability, contributing to the measurement's credibility, are the subject of numerous scientific publications. While choosing a method, one has to know its basic assumptions and be aware of the assets and weaknesses, as well as its cost. The mentioned aspects will be discussed in this article. Reference methods considered as most precise are multicomponent models (3C, 4C), requiring several (usually three) measurements with the use of various devices, which improves the precision of calculating the fraction of a given body composition component (fat, water, minerals, and/or protein). Therefore, the need to estimate tissue content with mathematical models can be minimised. The choice of the methods forming a multicomponent model differs depending on the place of the examination. However, the 3C and 4C models are time-consuming and require sustained cooperation with young patients. Moreover, measurements can only be taken by trained staff that use expensive, specialised equipment. The examination cost can be reduced by the use of screening methods, such as anthropometrics and more advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Due to published comparisons with reference methods, the precision limits of screening methods are known. However, when executed correctly, measurements obtained with these methods have an acceptable replicability and can become a valuable tool in everyday practice.
