Evaluation of Advanced Bioimpedance Spectroscopy Models for Measuring Body Composition in Healthy Adults (NHANES 1999-2004) and Those Undergoing Massive Weight Loss Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

摘要

Introduction:Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) devices utilize biophysical modeling to generate body composition data. The addition of body mass index (BMI) to modified Xitron-Hanai-based mixture equations improved BIS estimates of intracellular water (ICW), particularly at the extremes of BMI. A 3-compartment model for distinguishing excess fluid (ExF) from normally hydrated lean (NHLT) and adipose tissue may further improve BIS estimates.
