Child undernutrition in affluent societies: what are we talking about? [PDF]

, 2012
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 ...

Overview of bioelectrical impedance analyzers [PDF]

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1996
Six commercial bioelectrical impedance analyzers were evaluated to determine their accuracy as impedance meters, their sensitivity to contact impedance, and other operating parameters such as maximum current amplitude and test wave-form. Over a range of impedances that simulate human body impedance, analyzer errors varied from < 1% to nearly 20 ...
