Methodology for integrated analysis of vector- and spectroscopic bioimpedance methods

Journal of Electrical Bioimpedance
Electrical bioimpedance is based on the opposition exerted by body tissues to the passage of an electrical current. This characteristic allows the assessment of the individual's body composition, nutritional status, and hydration status.
