Phase Angle Shows a Negative Correlation With Serum GDF-15 Concentrations in Hospitalized Patients With Cardiovascular Disease. [PDF]

J Nutr Metab
Background Growth differentiation factor (GDF)–15 is associated with various conditions such as cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and chronic kidney disease. Phase angle (PhA) reflects cellular health and nutritional status. However, the relationship between serum GDF‐15 concentrations and PhA is unclear.
