Body composition in Nepalese children using isotope dilution: the production of ethnic-specific calibration equations and an exploration of methodological issues. [PDF]
Background. Body composition is important as a marker of both current and future health. Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) is a simple and accurate method for estimating body composition, but requires population-specific calibration equations. Objectives. (1)

Modeled channel distributions explain extracellular recordings from cultured neurons sealed to microelectrodes [PDF]
Amplitudes and shapes of extracellular recordings from single neurons cultured on a substrate embedded microelectrode depend not only on the volume conducting properties of the neuron-electrode interface, but might also depend on the distribution of ...

Principle of Biodynamic Analysis Using Human Limb Electrical Impedance [PDF]
This paper describes a new measurement method and principle of detection of biodynamics using bioelectrical impedance method based on four-electrode technique with sinusoidal constant current. This method uses a human body itself as a part of the sensor.

Estimation of body composition and water data depends on the bioelectrical impedance device
Overweight, obese and chronic kidney disease patients have an altered and negative body composition being its assessment important. Bioelectrical impedance analysis is an easy-to-operate and low-cost method for this purpose.

Child undernutrition in affluent societies: what are we talking about? [PDF]
In this paper we set out to explore the prevalence of child undernutrition found in community studies in affluent societies, but a preliminary literature review revealed that, in the absence of a gold standard method of diagnosis, the prevalence largely ...

A Comparative Evaluation of the Body Fat Percentage using Bioelectrical Impedance Analyser, Skin-fold Thickness Measurement and BMI [PDF]
Introduction: As there is a global increase in the number of people with obesity world-wide, there is an increasing need for estimation of body composition especially, the calculation of Body Fat (BF) percentage for treatment and prevention of obesity ...
