Objective: To determine whether bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a valid measure of change in body fat in anorexia nervosa (AN) patients during refeeding, as compared to skin fold calipers (SF). Methods: Prospective cohort study with measures of BIA and SF performed once a month for 3 month

The accurate assessment of body composition is of importance in the Prader-Willi syndrome. Many techniques are not applicable due to ethical or practical reasons. However, the bioelectrical impedance technique is a rapid, painless, noninvasive method of estimating total body water and hence, fat-fre
The use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for determining human body composition is widely accepted as a safe, rapid, and reliable technique. Although this technique has been validated in normal and obese individuals, only limited studies have been done in special populations. The use of BIA
