Bioelectrical impedance analysis measurements for drug pharmacokinetics [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1996 I review the rationale, methods, and existing data for using bioelectrical impedance to determine drug pharmacokinetics. Because drugs distribute into body compartments after absorption, it is expected that bioelectrical impedance measurements may correlate with drug pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion).

Fuzzy logic as a decision-making support system for the indication of bariatric surgery based on an index (OBESINDEX) generated by the association between body fat and body mass index [PDF]
, 2011 Background: A Fuzzy Obesity Index (OBESINDEX) for use as an alternative in bariatric surgery indication (BSI) is presented. The search for a more accurate method to evaluate obesity and to indicate a better treatment is important in the world health ...

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis—An Easy Tool for Quantifying Body Composition in Infancy?
Nutrients, 2020 There has been increasing interest in understanding body composition in early life and factors that may influence its evolution. While several technologies exist to measure body composition in infancy, the equipment is typically large, and thus not ...

Body composition estimated by bioelectrical impedance analyses is diminished by prenatal stress in neonatal lambs and by heat stress in feedlot wethers [PDF]
, 2019 Body composition correlates to carcass value in livestock, which makes the ability to accurately estimate body composition in the live animal beneficial (Berg and Marchello, 1994).
