Body composition measures assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in a sample of Brazilian adults and older adults [PDF]
Frontiers in NutritionIntroductionBioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a common technique for assessing body composition in clinical and epidemiological settings. However, its accuracy is limited compared to reference methods such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)

Effects of Nandrolone Decanoate on Muscle Strength, Body Composition and Bone Density: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
J Cachexia Sarcopenia MuscleABSTRACT Background Despite ongoing interest in anabolic therapies for sarcopenia and cachexia, pharmacological interventions are being developed to counteract age‐ and condition‐related losses of muscle mass and strength. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the effect of nandrolone decanoate on lean soft tissue (LST), fat mass, handgrip
