“…Abnormal accumulation of ECW is a fundamental cause of lymphedema [20]. Our data revealed that the value of ECW/TBW is substantially lower than that reported in other studies [21][22][23][24]. The different results of this study may be due to the different study populations.…”

Breast cancer-related lymphedema is a treatment-related chronic disease that causes great distress and medical burden. Early screening and precautionary measures for lymphedema could improve well-being and decrease medical costs. Herein, we used bioelectrical impedance analysis for early screening of lymphedema. We set up a verifiable standardized subclinical standard to screen subclinical lymphedema in postoperative breast cancer patients using bioelectrical impedance. The first part determined the criteria of subclinical lymphedema. Among the 424 female participants, 127 were healthy women, whereas 297 were postoperative breast cancer survivors. Subclinical standard boundaries were determined by the 95% confidence interval of the healthy women. The screening rate of patients with subclinical lymphedema was inferred by comparing the subclinical standard boundaries and the postoperative patient values. A total of 14.81–20.87% of postoperative breast cancer survivors were identified as patients with subclinical lymphedema. The second part provided the results of the verification test of this subclinical standard. The data of the verification test from 30 healthy women and 30 screened patients met the subclinical standard, and 30 breast cancer survivors with lymphedema verified the utility and feasibility of the subclinical standard. Therefore, this standard could provide a screening tool for early the identification of subclinical breast cancer survivors. Early detection helps implement personal and precise medical precautions for patients with subclinical lymphedema.

“…The sum of all three subtests results in the composite TDI-score and reflects general olfactory capacity whch thus can range from 0 to 48. 23,25 Anthropometric Parameters and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) Measurements According to previous procedures height was measured to the nearest 0.01 m using a Stadiometer (Holtain Ltd, UK) 26 and the waist circumference (WC) was measured in cm. 27 In line with previous experiences with BIA measurements and devices (Omron HBF-500 BIA, Omron Medizintechnik, Mannheim, Germany), manufacturers' equations were used to predict fat mass (FM, in %), skeletal muscle mass (MM, in %), grade of visceral fat (VF level) and resting energy expenditure (REE, in kilocalories [Kcal]), [28][29][30] once participants arrived at the laboratory between 08:00 and 09:00 h after an overnight fast (≥8 h).…”

Objective To evaluate the differences in olfactory sensitivity, nutritional habits, levels of modulators of feeding and smell, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures and metabolic assays between two groups of participants with stage I and II obesity and reciprocal relationships between these parameters. Methods Eighteen participants with stage I (11 female; mean age = 54.3 ± 13.1 years) and 20 participants with stage II (10 female; mean age = 54.5 ± 11.9) obesity underwent a food frequency questionnaire and Sniffin' Sticks® test battery, anthropometric parameters, and BIA measurements as well as metabolic assays (including plasma levels of leptin, insulin, ghrelin, glucose, insulin‐like growth factor‐1 [IGF‐1] and usual laboratory parameters). Results The stage II obesity participants demonstrated significant higher levels of insulin and leptin and lower levels of ghrelin and IGF‐1, a reduction in odor identification (OI) and in total olfactory score, and an increase in visceral and total fat percentage. Among a mosaic of multiple correlations, ghrelin was found to positively correlate with OI and leptin negatively with odor discrimination. Conclusion The present study expands the notions positing the olfactory perception – and its connections with metabolic cues, foods habits and BIA measures – changes across the two most important obesity stages. This could ameliorate clinical and research deepening of obesity‐related olfactory behavior with possible consequences on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of onset and development of obesity, thus opening possible future strategies involving multidisciplinary contributions.

“…Literature reports in the field of neurology indicate the possibility of using bioimpedance in assessing the state of hydration in patients, especially after ischemic stroke [40,41]. BIA measurements can also be used in non-invasive assessments in case of chronic vestibular disorders [42]. This method was also widely used in patients with heart disease [43], including heart failure [44][45][46].…”

The Possibility of Using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Pregnant and Postpartum Women

et al. 2021

Pregnancy is a time of significant changes occurring in the composition of a woman’s body in order to provide support for the growth and development of the foetus. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is used to assess the body composition and hydration status. This technique represents a non-invasive, reliable, and fast clinical approach, which is well tolerated by patients. A segmental impedance measurement might be advantageous in pregnant women, particularly in late pregnancy. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of different applications of BIA in pregnant and postpartum women. It seems that BIA has a better prognostic potential for gestational and post-partum outcomes than body mass index. The BIA method can be successfully used to study the effect of excessive gestational weight gain in pregnancy on the development of obstetric complications. Studying the mother’s body composition and correlating it with her energy balance could facilitate the development of dietary recommendations for women. Evaluation of the body composition can provide important clues for diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant women with a low risk of this disease. BIA is also used as one of the additional tests in assessing the risk of developing gestational hypertension and preeclampsia.
