Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Equations estimating fat-free mass (FFM) in people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) show differences in the validation process. The current study aimed to verify the validity of FFM estimation equations derived from bioelectrical impedance (BIA) in people living with HIV aged 40 years and older. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 68 participants evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and by two BIA devices (Analyzer and Biodynamics). The study aimed to determine the validity of six different FFM equations from four different studies by Lukaski and Bolonchuk (1987), Kotler et al. (1996), Beraldo et al. (2015) and Hegelund et al. (2017). Comparisons were made using the t-test or Wilcoxon test. To verify the validity between DXA and two BIA devices, the following statistical analyses were performed: Lin's concordance correlation coefficient, intraclass correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination, standard error of the estimate, differences in the limits of agreement by Bland and Altman analysis, correlation between the average and the differences of the methods by Pearson or Spearman correlation. RESULTS Only equation 2 of Kotler et al. (1996) for males by Biodynamics BIA showed no difference in FFM. The Lin's concordance correlation coefficient was excellent (0.96), irrespective of sex, for Equation 2 of Kotler et al. (1996) by BIA Analyzer. All equations were reproducible (>0.85). The coefficient of determination ranged from 68% to 92%, and the standard error of the estimates ranged from 1.8 kg to 5.0 kg. The differences between the limits of agreement ranged from 7.2 kg to 14.9 kg, and the correlations between the average and the differences of the methods showed differences in FFM for three equations (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The choice of equations must consider the equipment used and the sex of the sample investigated. Only Equation 2 of Kotler et al. (1996) was considered valid, irrespective of sex, to estimate the FFM by BIA Analyzer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Athletic performance is greatly impacted by hydration status. The combination of several techniques is recommended to accurately measure water losses and gains. AIM The aim of this study is to assess the validity of bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) as a tool for measuring hydration status in endurance and strength athletes. METHODS A total of 148 athletes were evaluated on one experimental day, pre- and post-training. Urine samples were collected and analyzed for color and specific gravity. Body weight changes were measured, sweat rate was calculated, and BIVA was performed. Reference ellipses were plotted using data of 200 healthy non-athletic individuals. RESULTS A moderate significant agreement was noted between raw bioelectrical values and urine specific gravity (USG) (p > 0.05). The sensitivity of classic BIVA in detecting minor changes in hydration status is confirmed both graphically and statistically. R/h and Z statistically significantly decreased post-training. Male athletes exhibited a specific BIA vector distribution compared to the reference population and were slightly more hydrated than female athletes. CONCLUSIONS BIVA validation may be an essential step to allow its use among university students to assess dehydration in a non-invasive, practical, and inexpensive way.

Non-invasive technology to assess hydration status in advanced cancer to explore relationships between fluid status and symptoms: an observational study using bioelectrical impedance analysis. BMC Palliat Care 2024; 23:209. [PMID: 39160544 PMCID: PMC11331739 DOI: 10.1186/s12904-024-01542-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral fluid intake decreases in advanced cancer in the dying phase of illness. There is inadequate evidence to support the assessment, and management, of hydration in the dying. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a body composition assessment tool. BIA has the potential to inform clinal management in advanced cancer, by examining the relationships between hydration status and clinical variables. AIM BIA was used to determine the association between hydration status, symptoms, clinical signs, quality-of-life and survival in advanced cancer, including those who are dying (i.e. in the last week of life). MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study of people with advanced cancer in three centres. Advance consent methodology was used to conduct hydration assessments in the dying. Total body water was estimated using the BIA Impedance index (Height - H (m)2 /Resistance - R (Ohms)). Backward regression was used to identify factors (physical signs, symptoms, quality of life) that predicted H2/R. Participants in the last 7 days of life were further assessed with BIA to assess hydration changes, and its relationship with clinical outcomes. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-five people participated (males n = 74 (59.2%), females, n = 51 (40.8%)). We used backward regression analysis to describe a statistical model to predict hydration status in advanced cancer. The model demonstrated that 'less hydration' (lower H2/R) was associated with female sex (Beta = -0.39, p < 0.001), increased appetite (Beta = -0.12, p = 0.09), increased dehydration assessment scale score (dry mouth, dry axilla, sunken eyes - Beta = -0.19, p = 0.006), and increased breathlessness (Beta = -0.15, p = 0.03). 'More hydration' (higher H2/R) was associated with oedema (Beta = 0.49, p < 0.001). In dying participants (n = 18, 14.4%), hydration status (H2/R) was not significantly different compared to their baseline measurements (n = 18, M = 49.6, SD = 16.0 vs. M = 51.0, SD = 12.1; t(17) = 0.64, p = 0.53) and was not significantly associated with agitation (rs = -0.85, p = 0.74), pain (rs = 0.31, p = 0.23) or respiratory tract secretions (rs = -0.34, p = 0.19). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to use bioimpedance to report a model (using clinical factors) to predict hydration status in advanced cancer. Our data demonstrates the feasibility of using an advance consent method to conduct research in dying people. This method can potentially improve the evidence base (and hence, quality of care) for the dying. Future BIA research can involve hydration assessment of cancers (according to type and stage) and associated variables (e.g., stage of illness, ethnicity and gender). Further work can use BIA to identify clinically relevant outcomes for hydration studies and establish a core outcome set to evaluate how hydration affects symptoms and quality-of-life in cancer.

Proposal and validation of an equation to identify sarcopenia using bioelectrical impedance analysis-derived parameters. Nutrition 2024; 124:112453. [PMID: 38669830 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2024.112453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop a simpler approach for diagnosing sarcopenia by using only bioelectrical impedance vector analysis parameters. METHODS The study design was a cross-sectional study. The research was conducted based on the Itabashi Longitudinal Study on Aging, a community-based cohort study, with data collected from the 2022 and 2023 surveys in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, Japan. The development cohort consisted of 1146 participants from the 2022 survey, and the validation cohort included 656 participants from the 2023 survey. Both cohorts were comprised of community-dwelling older adults with similar inclusion criteria. Sarcopenia was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. The logistic model utilized height divided by impedance at 50 kHz and phase angle to establish a new regression equation to identify sarcopenia. Regression equations were generated for the development cohort and validated for the validation cohort. Discriminatory ability was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for men and women. RESULTS The prevalence of sarcopenia was 20.7% and 14.8% in the development and validation cohort, respectively. The AUC (95% confidence interval) of the logistic model in discriminating sarcopenia was 0.92 (0.88, 0.95) for men and 0.82 (0.78, 0.86) for women in the development cohort and 0.85 (0.78, 0.91) for men and 0.90 (0.86, 0.95) for women in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION The study demonstrated that a simple formula using bioelectrical parameters at 50 kHz proved useful in identifying sarcopenia in the older adult population.

Total and segmental phase angle in a cohort of hospitalised patients with COVID-19: mortality prediction and changes throughout hospitalisation. Br J Nutr 2024; 131:1397-1404. [PMID: 38149452 PMCID: PMC10950452 DOI: 10.1017/s0007114523002994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
Body composition and phase angle (PhA) have been used to predict mortality in multiple diseases. However, little has been studied regarding segmental measurements, which could potentially help assess subtle changes in specific tissue segments. This study aimed to identify the total PhA cut-off point associated with mortality risk and changes in body composition within a week of hospitalisation in non-critical hospitalised patients with COVID-19. A cohort study was conducted where patients underwent to a complete nutritional assessment upon admission and after seven days, and followed up until hospital discharge or death. A receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to determine the PhA cut-off point, and the Kaplan–Meier estimator was used to determine survival analysis. Segmental and complete body compositions on admission and after 7 d were compared. We included 110 patients (60 men) with a mean age of 50·5 ± 15·0 years and a median BMI of 28·5 (IQR, 25·6–33·5) kg/m2. The median length of hospital stay was 6 (IQR, 4–9) d, and the mortality rate was 13·6 %. The PhA cut-off point obtained was 4°, with significant differences in the survival rate (P < 0·001) and mortality (HR = 5·81, 95 % CI: 1·80, 18·67, P = 0·003). Segmental and whole-body compositions were negatively affected within one week of hospitalisation, with changes in the approach by the graphical method in both sexes. Nutritional status deteriorates within a week of hospitalisation. PhA < 4° is strongly associated with increased mortality in non-critical hospitalised patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Water, an essential component of body composition, appears to be a significant predictor of adverse outcomes in clinical populations, despite being frequently underexplored. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and vector analysis (BIVA) are easy and cost-effective bedside tools for estimating body composition, particularly water content. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the impact of hydration and fluid status using both BIA and BIVA on outcomes in hospitalized patients with cancer. METHODS A prospective cohort study involving hospitalized individuals with cancer was conducted. Total body water (TBW) was estimated using BIA. Extracellular-water/TBW (ECW/TBW) and ECW/intracellular-water (ECW/ICW) ratios were calculated. BIVA ellipses vectors were constructed to enhance our analysis of hydration status. Participants were followed during their hospital stay and up to six months after discharge to assess outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, 6-month non-elective rehospitalization, and 6-month mortality. RESULTS TBW, ECW/TBW, ECW/ICW ratios, and BIVA plots were not associated with non-elective rehospitalization during the follow-up period. However, TBW and an elevated ECW/ICW ratio were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 1.07 (1.01; 1.13) p = 0.020; HR: 4.23 (1.69; 10.58) p = 0.002]. Elevated ratios ECW/TBW and ECW/ICW were independent predictors of 6-month mortality [HR: 1.87 (1.10; 3.21) p = 0.022; HR: 2.49 (1.37; 4.51) p = 0.003]. BIVA vectors for in-hospital and 6-month mortality shifted significantly to the right, leading to cachexia and overhydration quadrants (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Abnormalities related to overhydration were important predictors of short- and long-term mortality in hospitalized patients with cancer.

Abstract
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a reliable, non-invasive, objective, and cost-effective body composition assessment method, with high reproducibility. This scoping review aims to evaluate the current scientific and clinical evidence on BIA for body composition assessment in oncology patients, under active treatment. Literature search was conducted through MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science databases, following PRISMA-ScR Guidelines. Inclusion criteria comprised studies reporting the use of BIA for body composition evaluation in adults with cancer diagnosis. Studies including non-cancer pathology or only assessing nutritional status were excluded. This scoping review comprised a total of 36 studies: 25 were original studies including 18 prospective studies, six cross-sectional studies and one retrospective study and 11 were systematic reviews. Population size for the included original articles ranged from 18 to 1217 participants, comprising a total of 3015 patients with cancer with a mean baseline Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 20.3 to 30.0 kg/m2 and mean age ranging between 47 and 70 years. Review articles included a total of 273 studies, with a total of 78,350 participants. The current review considered studies reporting patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) (n = 8), breast cancer (BC) (n = 4), esophageal cancer (EC) (n = 2), liver cancer (n = 2), pancreatic cancer (PC) (n = 3), gastric cancer (GC) (n = 3), colorectal cancer (CRC) (n = 8), lung cancer (LC) (n = 1), skin cancer (SK) (n = 1) and multiple cancer types (n = 6). BIA is a suitable and valid method for the assessment of body composition in oncology. BIA-derived measures have shown good potential and relevant clinical value in preoperative risk evaluation, in the reduction of postoperative complications and hospital stay and as an important prognostic indicator in persons with cancer. Future research on the diagnostic value and clinical applications of BIA and BIA-derived phase angle (PhA) should be conducted in order to predict its impact on patient survival and other clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction Malnutrition and alteration of body composition are early features in pancreatic cancer and appear to be predictors of advanced stages and dismal overall survival. Whether specific patient characteristics measured at the preoperative bioimpedance analysis (BIA) could be associated with long-term outcomes following curative resection has not been yet described. Methods In a prospective multicenter study, all histologically proven resected pancreatic cancer patients were included in the analysis. BIA was measured for all patients on the day before surgery. Demographics, perioperative data, and postoperative outcomes were prospectively collected. Patients who experienced 90-day mortality were excluded from the analysis. Survival data were obtained through follow-up visits and phone interviews. Bioimpedance variables were analyzed according to the overall survival using the Kaplan-Meier curves and the univariate and multivariate Cox regression model. Results Overall, 161 pancreatic cancer patients were included. The median age was 66 (60-74) years, and 27.3% received systemic neoadjuvant treatment. There were 23 (14.3%) patients malnourished in the preoperative evaluation. Median OS was 34.0 (25.7-42.3) months. Several bioimpedance variables were associated with OS at the univariate analysis, namely the phase angle [HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.74-0.98)], standardized phase angle [HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.82-0.99)], and an increased ratio between the fat and lean mass (FM/FFM) [HR 4.27, 95% CI 1.10-16.64)]. At the multivariate analysis, the FM/FFM ratio was a confirmed independent predictor of OS following radical resection, together with a positive lymph nodal status. Conclusion Alteration of body composition at the preoperative bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) can predict dismal oncologic outcomes following pancreatic resection for cancer.

Abstract
A thorough knowledge of body composition assessment techniques is the cornerstone for initiating a customized nutritional program. The second step is to consider the potential of their application in different physiological and pathological conditions and their effectiveness in the management of a monitoring pathway during dietary interventions. To date, bioimpedance analysis is the most effective and reliable method for assessing body composition due to its advantages in terms of speed of execution, non-invasiveness and low cost. Therefore, this review article aims to analyze the main concepts and application areas of bioimpedance measurement techniques, in particular vector frequency-based analysis (BIVA) systems, in order to assess their validity in both physiological and pathological conditions.

Effects of lipodystrophy and physical exercise on bioimpedance parameters in people living with HIV: A cross-sectional study. Nutrition 2023; 112:112059. [PMID: 37263160 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2023.112059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of lipodystrophy and physical exercise on the parameters of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) of people living with HIV (PLWHIV). METHODS Seventy patients were divided into two groups: PLWHIV with lipodystrophy (PLWHIV-L) and PLWHIV without lipodystrophy (PLWHIV-NL). The phase angle (PhA) and the BIVA were determined from the values of resistance and reactance collected by the BIS. The percentage of fat mass and lean soft tissue (LST) were determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. For comparisons between the PLWHIV-L and PLWHIV-NL groups, the t test for independent samples or the Mann-Whitney test was used. From the BIVA, the average of the impedance vectors of the two groups was calculated with the 95% confidence ellipse, and the individual vectors of the patients divided by sex were also compared with the tolerance ellipses of 50%, 75%, and 95% of the healthy reference population. The relationships between the variables of interest were determined by the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination. Analysis of covariance was used for comparisons between groups, adjusted for possible confounding variables. RESULTS PLWIV-L showed better hydration conditions (P <0.01), higher LST (P <0.01), and lower percent of fat mass (P <0.01). No differences in PhA were observed between PLWHIV who practiced or did not practice physical exercise. There was a significant difference between the impedance vectors of the groups with and without lipodystrophy (T = 42.4 and P <0.01). Additionally, most of the patients who were positioned beyond the ellipse limits of 50% of tolerance fell into the areas of edema and cachexia. The extracellular to intracellular water ratio explained 81% of the PhA variations. When PhA was adjusted for height2, fat mass/height2 and LST, it was significantly different between groups of the female sex (PhA: P <0.01). CONCLUSION Lipodystrophy and the practice of physical exercise do not present direct involvement in the PhA values, with sex, body composition, and hydration variables being the main influences on this variable. BIVA was able to show differences in the body composition of the groups even when the PhA values were similar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need to detect and prevent fluid overload and malnutrition in heart failure. Bioelectrical impedance analysis and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis are medical instruments that can advance heart failure management by generating values of body composition and body water, assisting clinicians to detect fluid and nutritional status. However, there is a lack of evidence to summarise how they have been used among heart failure patients. METHOD A systematic search was conducted. RESULT Two hundred and four papers were screened. Forty-eight papers were reviewed, and 46 papers were included in this review. The literature shows that bioelectrical impedance analysis and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis were mostly used to assess fluid and nutritional status, together with diagnostic and prognostic values. Contraindication of using BIA and implications for practice are also demonstrated. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that bioelectrical impedance vector analysis is superior to bioelectrical impedance analysis when assessing hydration/nutritional status in heart failure. Assessing a patient using bioelectrical impedance analysis /bioelectrical impedance vector analysis, together with natriuretic peptide -heart failure biomarkers, increases the diagnostic accuracy of heart failure. Further studies are required to examine the cost effectiveness of using these instruments in clinical practice.

Abstract
Patients with cancer experience dynamic and longitudinal changes in nutritional status and body composition along the disease trajectory. They often want to know about their outlook with regard to treatment outcomes and overall survival. One of the commonly used measures for body composition is bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). BIA is an easy-to-use, quick, inexpensive, noninvasive, and reproducible technique that is often incorporated in daily clinical practice. Phase angle (PA), which is derived from BIA, is an indicator of cell membrane health and integrity. Higher PA values reflect better cell function, higher muscle mass, and lower fat mass. PA is also thought to be a proxy of water distribution (ratio between extracellular water [ECW] and intracellular water [ICW]) and body cell mass. In this narrative review, we discuss studies examining the diagnostic and prognostic value of PA regarding nutritional status, body composition and physical function, complications of cancer treatments, overall survival, symptoms, and quality of life (QOL) in patients with cancer. The literature suggests that PA is moderately to strongly correlated with body composition and physical function but only weakly correlated with nutritional status, complications, survival, symptoms, and QOL. Furthermore, the PA cutoff values vary significantly according to study and patient population with the diversity of bioelectrical impedance technology and electrode composition and placement. Thus, PA has yet to be routinely incorporated into clinical practice for patients with cancer. Future research is needed to determine how to translate scientific understanding of PA to clinical practice.

Abstract
Bioelectrical impedance (BI) is a practical method to assess body composition in health and disease. This method relies on the passive conduction of an applied, safe, low-level alternating current through water and electrolytes in the body. Using a phase-sensitive device, BI yields measurements of impedance (Z) and its components, resistance (R) and reactance (Xc), that are related geometrically as phase angle (PhA). In vitro studies provide empirical evidence relating BI measurements to physiological variables. Cooking raw food samples results in greater decreases in PhA, predominantly Xc, with smaller reductions R indicating destruction of cell membrane integrity with simultaneous movement of fluid from intracellular to extracellular space. Infusion of saline into a cell-free model shows a proportional decrease in R with increases in volume. Saline infusion in a composite model of cells disproportionately decreases Xc and PhA, compared to R, demonstrating greater relative expansion of extracellular water (ECW) with a lesser relative increase in total fluid volume. Surgical patients treated with fluid infusion and diuresis demonstrate changes in Xc predominantly indicating relative changes in ECW with lesser variations in R indicating fluctuations in total fluid volume. Proteomics studies disclose strong independent associations of PhA with protein markers of fluid overload and protein proliferation. Interpretations of PhA measurements for body cell mass should be examined in the context of hydration status.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cachexia is a devastating syndrome that impacts a majority of cancer patients. Early assessment of cachexia is critical to implementing cachexia treatments. Our aim was to summarize the existing cachexia assessment tools for their utility in both symptom and function evaluation. RECENT FINDINGS Several tools now exist that provide a symptom-based approach for evaluating weight change, appetite, and nutrition impact symptoms in cancer patients with cachexia. However, current instruments used to assess physical function changes related to cachexia are limited in depth and breadth. Instead, we recommend a tiered approach to cachexia-related functional assessment that involves evaluation of activities of daily living, general mobility, and exercise tolerance in a prioritized sequence. Current tools for cancer-associated cachexia assessment are adept at symptom evaluation. New approaches to physical function evaluation are needed that efficiently and broadly evaluate the diverse functional needs of cachexia patients.

Abstract
Prostate cancer and its treatment may induce muscle wasting. Body composition and muscle functionality are rarely assessed in patients with prostate cancer from developing countries due to the limited availability of high-quality equipment for routine diagnosis. This cross-sectional study evaluated the association between several simplistic techniques for assessing muscle mass and function with a more complex standard of reference for muscle wasting among Mexican men with prostate cancer. Muscle wasting was highly prevalent, yet it was presumably associated with aging rather than cancer and its treatment itself. The restricted availability of specific equipment in clinical settings with technological limitations supports using unsophisticated techniques as surrogate measurements for muscle wasting. The left-arm handgrip dynamometry displayed the highest correlation with the standard of reference and exhibited an acceptable predicted probability for muscle estimation. Combining several simplistic techniques may be preferable. We also developed and internally validated a manageable model that helps to identify elderly patients with prostate cancer at risk of muscle depletion and impairment. These findings promote the early recognition and treatment of muscle wasting alterations occurring among older adults with prostate cancer.

Abstract
Background: Knowledge of clinically established factors of physical function such as body
composition, bioelectrical phase angle (PhA) and handgrip strength (HGS)
with mortality predictive and health-related relevance is limited in
prostate cancer survivors (PCS). Therefore, the aim of this study was to
characterise and compare body composition data of PCS with extensive
reference data as well as to analyse PhA and HGS and the prevalence of
critical prognostic values at an early stage of cancer survivorship. Methods: One hundred and forty-eight PCS were examined at the start (T1) and end (T2)
of a 3-week hospitalised urooncological rehabilitation, which began median
28 days after acute cancer therapy. Examinations included a bioimpedance
analysis and HGS test. Comparison of body composition between PCS and
reference data was performed using bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA). Results: BIVA of the whole PCS group showed abnormal physiology with a cachectic state
and a state of overhydration/oedema, without significant changes between T1
and T2. The age- and BMI-stratified subgroup analysis showed that PCS aged
60 years and older had this abnormal pattern compared to the reference
population. HGS (T1: 38.7 ± 8.9 vs T2: 40.8 ± 9.4, kg), but not PhA (T1/T2:
5.2 ± 0.7, °), changed significantly between T1 and T2. Values below a
critical threshold reflecting a potentially higher risk of mortality and
impaired function were found for PhA in 20% (T1) and 22% (T2) of PCS and in
41% (T1) and 29% (T2) for HGS. Conclusions: BIVA pattern and the prevalence of critically low HGS and PhA values
illustrate the necessity for intensive continuation of rehabilitation and
survivorship care especially in these ‘at risk’ cases. The routine
assessment of body composition, PhA and HGS offer the opportunity to conduct
a risk stratification for PCS and could help personalising and optimising
treatment in rehabilitation and ongoing survivorship care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the changes in the body composition of the women survivors of breast cancer and its association with clinical staging, using the bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA), over five years of follow-up. METHODS At baseline time 114 patients (T0) were selected and after 5 years (T1) of follow-up (n = 35) data of weight, body mass index, waist circumference, phase angle, resistance/height, reactance/height, %fat free mass and %fat mass were monitored. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) and the vector displacement assessment took place according to the initial and advanced clinical staging (CS 1 and 2, respectively) and time of follow-up and have been showed using mean graph and RXc score graph. RESULTS Patients on CS 1 showed a reduction in reactance/height, phase angle, %fat free mass and an increase in %fat mass. The same group presented during the follow-up significant vector displacement by mean graph and a change to the 95% ellipse by the RXc score graph. CONCLUSIONS Women with breast cancer in the initial CS showed a more significant displacement of bioelectric vectors, indicating worsening in body composition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study objective is to propose bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) ellipses for the population and investigate its use to assess nutritional status through the BMI/age ratio and the cardiovascular risk through waist circumference (WC). DESIGN Age, weight, height and WC were recorded, along with the values of resistance (R), reactance (Xc) and phase angle (PA) by impedance. Student's t test and ANOVA were applied to ascertain the significance between means and a specific programme was applied to investigate the significance between ellipses. SETTING Fortaleza, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS A total of 467 students from public schools participated in the study: 120 children and 347 adolescents were evaluated, with respective means of age, weight and height of 8·2 years, 27·6 kg and 1·29 m and 12·7 years, 48·6 kg and 1·53 m, respectively. RESULTS The mean values of R/H, Xc/H and PA were 569·0 and 424·7 Ohm/m, 59·1 and 50·4 Ohm/m, and 5·9º and 6·8º for children and adolescents, respectively. The mean vectors for R/H and Xc/H show significant differences between for both age ranges and are inversely proportional to the BMI/A. As for WC, individuals without cardiovascular risk had higher R/H and lower Xc/H, but Xc and R in participants without cardiovascular risk were greater than with cardiovascular risk. CONCLUSIONS It was possible to propose confidence and tolerance BIVA ellipses for children and adolescent's clinical evaluation. The method was also suitable to identify cardiovascular risk ellipses in these age groups, but it was not possible to draw nutritional classifications ellipses by BMI/age data.

The use of bioelectrical impedance vector analysis for a nutritional evaluation of older adults in the community. Exp Gerontol 2021; 147:111276. [PMID: 33571661 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2021.111276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Revised: 01/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The body composition of an older adult person is characterized by an increase in body fat, as well as by a reduction in both muscle mass and total body water. The bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) overcomes the limits imposed by bioelectrical impedance, since it only requires the resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) values, standardized by the individual's height, which makes the method more individualized and accurate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the body composition using the BIVA of the community-living older adults, with regard to sex and body mass index (BMI) classification, and compare the results with the reference population. METHODS Cross-sectional study with the community-living older adults of both sexes. Bioimpedance was carried out and the R and Xc data analyzed, based on height, and plotted on RXc graphs. RESULTS One hundred and forty-four older adults (n = 33 men; n = 111 women; mean age of 80.2 ± 9.2 years) participated in the study. Low weight (<23 kg/m2) was the most prevalent in BMI classification. The older adult women presented a higher average BMI, body fat percentage and R/Height values, while the older adult men presented a higher average for fat-free mass and the phase angle (p < 0.05). The older adult, regardless of their BMI, located in the right quadrant, indicated cachexia; those with low weight were dehydrated, and those with overweight (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2) presented hyperhydration. CONCLUSION The majority of the older adults with normal weight or overweight has impedance vectors indicating loss of muscle mass and water imbalance (dehydration or hyperhydration).

Phase Angle Is an Independent Predictor of 6-Month Mortality in Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis: A Prospective Cohort Study. Nutr Clin Pract 2020; 35:1061-1069. [PMID: 33058222 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.10584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the nutrition status through phase angle (PA) and its association with mortality in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. METHODS A prospective cohort study was performed with hospitalized decompensated cirrhotic patients. Nutrition status was assessed by PA, bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA), and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) within 72 hours of hospital admission. The best PA cutoff point for malnutrition diagnosis was determined by ROC curve analysis, considering the SGA as the reference standard. Predictors of 6-month mortality were identified using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for Child-Pugh and MELD scores, and hepatocellular carcinoma. RESULTS This study included 97 patients, 63% male (n = 61), with a mean age of 60.1 ± 10.3 years. The median follow-up time of patients was 11.2 months (IQR, 2.4-21). Overall mortality was 58.8% (n = 57) and 6-month mortality was 35.1% (n = 34). Nutrition assessment according to BIVA indicated a risk for cachexia and normal hydration. Patients with values of PA ≤5.52° were considered malnourished. Malnourished patients according to PA (58.8%, n = 57) had a higher risk of 6-month mortality (HR = 3.44; 95% CI, 1.51-7.84; P = .003), and each increase of 1° in PA values was associated with a reduction of 53% in 6-month mortality risk. CONCLUSIONS The PA is an independent predictor of 6-month mortality in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Therefore, PA may be useful to assess the nutrition status and identify patients at the highest risk of mortality in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heart failure is associated with increased neurohormonal activation that results in changes in body composition including volume overload and the loss of skeletal muscle, body fat, and bone density. Bioelectrical impedance measures body composition based on the conduction of electrical current through body fluids. AREAS COVERED The PubMed and Scopus databases were reviewed up to the third week of June 2020. Cross-sectional studies, retrospective observational studies, prospective observational studies, and randomized controlled trials have examined numerous bioelectrical impedance monitoring strategies to guide the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of heart failure. These monitoring strategies include intrathoracic impedance, lung impedance, bioelectrical impedance vector analysis, leg bioelectrical impedance, and thoracic bioreactance. EXPERT COMMENTARY Based on the current evidence, more studies are needed to validate bioelectrical impedance in heart failure. Lung impedance appears to be useful for guiding heart failure treatment in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and improving outcomes in outpatients with heart failure. Furthermore, bioelectrical impedance has potential as a noninvasive, quantitative heart failure variable for population-based research.

Abstract
Background: Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) is a body composition assessment method based on the interpretation of the raw bioimpedance parameters. While it was initially proposed in clinical settings, its use in the sports field has grown considerably. The aim of this study was: (i) to explore the role of somatotype on BIVA patterns and (ii) to propose a new target zone to improve BIVA analysis in ball games athletes. Methods: One hundred and sixty-four male volleyball, soccer, and rugby players (age 26.2 ± 4.4 yrs; body mass index (BMI) 25.4 ± 2.4 kg/m2) were included in this study. Somatotype and BIVA were measured from anthropometric and bioelectrical data, respectively. Results: Forty-six athletes were classified with an endomorphic mesomorphic somatotype, 26 showed a balanced mesomorphy, 55 were ectomorphic mesomorph, 10 resulted as mesomorph ectomorphs, 13 with a mesomorphic ectomorph somatotype, and in 14 athletes a balanced ectomorphy was assessed. The results of the Hotelling’s T2 test showed significant differences in BIVA patterns for the endomorphic mesomorph group (p < 0.001) in comparison with all the other groups, while mesomorphic balanced athletes presented a more inclined vector compared to the athletes with a balanced ectomorphy (p < 0.003). In addition, the endomorphic mesomorph group showed a greater BMI (p < 0.001) with respect to the athletes grouped in the other somatotype categories. Discriminant analysis revealed two significant functions (p < 0.001). The first discriminant function primarily represented differences based on the bioelectrical standardized resistance parameter (R/H) measure, while the second function reflected differences based on the bioelectrical standardized reactance parameter (Xc/H). Conclusions: Athletes presenting a higher endomorphic component have a lower vector, whereas those with a larger mesomorphic component display higher vector inclinations on the R-Xc graph. We propose a new target zone to improve the interpretation of BIVA analysis in athletes engaged in team sports.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Body composition assessment can provide information associated with breast cancer patients’ (BCP) prognosis, that can lead interventions to improve survival outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an individualized nutrition intervention program on breast cancer patients using bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA). Materials and Methods: This is a pretest-posttest study in recently diagnosed nonmetastatic BCP undergoing antineoplastic treatment, free of co-morbidities and dietary supplementation. Body composition was assessed at baseline and 6 months after an individualized nutrition intervention program, by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and BIVA. According to BIVA, each participant was located in the bivariate tolerance ellipses for Mexican population (50%, 75%, and 95%). In clinical practice, the 50% and 75% ellipses are considered within normality ranges. Results: Nine nonmetastatic BCP completed the intervention and were included in the analysis. After the intervention, they decreased by 5.8 kg of body weight (IQR, 3–6; p < 0.05), 3.8 kg of fat mass (IQR, 0.1–4.2; p < 0.05), and 1.4 kg of fat-free mass (IQR, −0.1 to 4; p < 0.05) while appendicular skeletal muscle mass remained unchanged (−0.2 kg, IQR, −0.8 to 2.3; p = 0.4). Using BIVA at baseline, five participants were among the 50% and 75% ellipses, mainly located in the area corresponding to edema and low lean tissue, two in the cachexia quadrant and two in the athletic quadrant (≥95% ellipse). After 6 months of intervention, six out of nine participants were in the athletic quadrant and eight of nine BCP were above the 5° phase angle cut-off point. One patient initially presented cachexia (≥95% ellipse); at postintervention her vector changed to the 50% ellipse. Conclusions: An individualized nutrition intervention program designed for nonmetastatic BCP was effective to improve the nutritional status of BCP as assessed by BIVA, therefore BIVA can be a useful tool to monitor changes in nonmetastatic BCP body composition in research and clinical practice.
