Phase angle and donor type are determinants of coronary artery calcification in stable kidney transplant recipients at twelve months after transplantation. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:1912-1921. [PMID: 38740537 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2024.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Coronary artery calcification (CAC) partially explains the excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality after kidney transplantation. This study aimed to investigate determinants of CAC in stable kidney transplant recipients at 12 months post-transplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS CAC-score was quantified by the Agatston method using non-contrast enhanced computed tomography, and age- and sex-standardized CAC-percentiles were calculated. Univariable and multivariable multinomial logistic regression was performed to study potential determinants of CAC. The independent determinants were included in multivariable multinomial logistic regression adjusting for potential confounders. 203 KTRs (age 54.0 ± 14.7 years, 61.1% male) were included. Participants were categorized into four groups according to CAC percentiles (p = 0 [CAC-score = 0], n = 68; p ≥ 1%-p ≤ 50% [CAC score = 29.0 (4.0-166.0)], n = 31; p > 50 ≤ 75% [CAC score = 101.0 (23.8-348.3)], n = 26; and p>75% [CAC score = 581.0 (148.0-1652)], n = 83). Upon multivariable multinomial logistic regression, patients with a narrower phase angle and patients who had received a graft from a deceased donor had a higher risk of being in the >75th CAC-percentile. CONCLUSIONS This study identifies not only metabolic and transplant-related factors, but also phase angle, a composite marker of cell integrity, as an independent determinant of CAC at 12 months after kidney transplantation. This study offers new perspectives for future research into the value of bioelectrical impedance analysis in relation to vascular calcification in kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Treatment with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) has brought a significant change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and clinical parameters. However, it also results in weight gain. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of CFTR modulator treatment on body composition, measured by computed tomography (CT). METHODS Adult subjects with CF under follow-up at La Princesa University Hospital were recruited. All of them were on elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) treatment. Body composition analysis was conducted using CT scans and an open-source software. The results were then compared with bioimpedance estimations, as well as other clinical and spirometry data. RESULTS Our sample consisted of 26 adult subjects. The fat mass compartments on CT scans correlated with similar compartments on bioimpedance, and normal-density muscle mass exhibited a strong correlation with phase angle. Higher levels of very low-density muscle prior to treatment were associated with lower final FEV1 and less improvement in FEV1 after therapy. We observed an increase in total body area (P < 0.001), driven by increases in total fat mass (P < 0.001), subcutaneous fat (P < 0.001), visceral fat (P = 0.002), and intermuscular fat (P = 0.022). The only muscle compartment that showed an increase after treatment was very low-density muscle (P = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS CT scans represent an opportunity to assess body composition on CF. Combination treatment with CFTR modulators, leads to an improvement in FEV1 and to an increase in body mass in all compartments primarily at the expense of fat mass.

Med Sci Sports Exerc 2024; 56:418-426.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this cross-sectional evaluation was to determine the associations between raw bioelectrical impedance and cardiometabolic health parameters in a sample of young non-Hispanic White and African American adults. METHODS A total of 96 (female: 52, male: 44) non-Hispanic White ( n = 45) and African American adults ( n = 51) between the ages of 19 and 37 yr (22.7 ± 3.83 yr) completed several fasted assessments including resting systolic blood pressure (rSBP), blood glucose (FBG), blood lipids, and bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy-derived measurements included phase angle, bioimpedance index (BI), impedance ratio (IR), reactance index (XCi), fat-free mass (FFM), FFM index (FFMi), and absolute (a) and relative (%) total body water (TBW) and extracellular (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF). All bioelectric variables were collected at 50 kHz other than IR (250 kHz/5 kHz). Multiple regressions were conducted and adjusted for sex, age, and body mass index. RESULTS rSBP was positively, and HDL was inversely, associated with all bioelectrical impedance and absolute hydration variables (all P ≤ 0.050) other than XCi for rSBP and XCi and FFMi for HDL. rSBP ( P < 0.001) was inversely, and HDL ( P = 0.034) was positively, associated with IR. FBG was positively associated with BI, XCi, FFM, TBWa, and ECFa (all P < 0.050). Metabolic syndrome severity was positively associated with BI, FFM, TBWa, and ECFa for women (all P ≤ 0.050) and with ICFa for African American women ( P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS Given the rapid increase in the prevalence of cardiometabolic health risks among young adults and the broad use of bioelectrical impedance in practice, the conflicting associations we observed in this age group suggest that bioelectrical impedance parameters should be used with caution in the context of cardiometabolic health risks and age.

Relationship between phase angle and lower-extremity function in older adults: Itabashi Longitudinal Study on Aging. Nutrition 2024; 119:112289. [PMID: 38104512 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2023.112289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluating muscle quality instead of its mass has gained attention in diagnosing sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to examine whether phase angle (PhA) as a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived muscle quality indicator is associated with overall lower extremity function better than appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study used data from the Itabashi Longitudinal Study on Aging, a community-based cohort study. A sex-stratified multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted using PhA and ASMI as exposures, and low physical function defined as short physical performance battery score <10 as the outcome, adjusted for age, being overweight, knee pain, and non-communicable diseases. Discrimination of low physical function was compared using the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS This study included 1464 participants (age 76 [73-80] y; 757 women), with 58 men (8%) and 66 women (9%) exhibiting low physical function. The multivariate odds ratio (OR; 95% confidence interval [CI]) for low physical function among the highest quartile, compared with the lowest quartile were significant in PhA in multiple sites (e.g., OR, 0.09; 95% CI, 0.03-0.32] for men and 0.12; 95% CI, 0.04-0.33 for women in the left leg) but not in ASMI (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.19-1.34 for men and 0.56; 95% CI, 0.21-1.47 for women). Legs and whole-body PhA outperformed the ASMI in discriminating low physical function (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION PhA reflected physical function better than ASMI; using PhA instead of ASMI in BIA-based morphometric evaluation may add information on low physical function and enhance the diagnostic value of sarcopenia.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis as a clinical marker of health status in adult patients with benign gastrointestinal disease: A systematic review. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 59:387-397. [PMID: 38220401 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.12.145] [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: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Body composition reflects nutritional status, disease status and progression, and treatment responses. Mounting evidence supports the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as a non-invasive tool to assess body composition. Patients with benign gastrointestinal (GI) disease experience disease-related alterations in their body composition, and bioimpedance outcomes in patients with benign GI diseases have not previously been summarized. We aimed to evaluate BIA as a clinical body composition marker for benign GI diseases and describe its association with physical health status. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and CINAHL from inception to October 2023 (PROSPERO registration: CRD42021265866). Of 971 screened studies, 26 studies were included in the final analysis, comprising a total of 2398 adult patients with benign GI disease. The main outcome was raw impedance data. RESULTS The most frequently reported BIA outcome was phase angle (PhA) (reported in 18 of 26 studies), followed by fat-free-mass (FFM) (reported in 13 of 26 studies). The consensus view of the included studies illustrates that BIA can be a useful tool for evaluating body composition in patients with benign GI diseases, and low PhA and FFM were associated with increased nutritional risk, abnormal physical characteristics, and increased mortality risk. CONCLUSION To fully utilize BIA as a clinical marker of health in patients with benign GI disease, standardized protocols specific to this population are needed and prospective studies testing cut-offs and ranges, accuracy, and other raw BIA parameters for classifying disease status.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality worldwide. Patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) may be at increased cardiovascular risk. This review provides an overview of clinical and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors, explores the connections between body composition (including fat mass and ectopic fat) and cardiovascular risk, and examines various methods for evaluating body composition. It particularly focuses on nutritional ultrasound, given its emerging availability and practical utility in clinical settings. Possible causes of increased cardiometabolic risk in PKU are also explored, including an increased intake of carbohydrates, chronic exposure to amino acids, and characteristics of microbiota. It is important to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors and body composition in patients with PKU. We suggest systematic monitoring of body composition to develop nutritional management and hydration strategies to optimize performance within the limits of nutritional therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Phase angle (PA) is derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). It reflects cell membrane function and decreases in disease. It is affected by inflammation, oxidative stress, and diet. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent inflammatory lipid mediator. Its levels, along with the activity of its metabolic enzymes, including CDP-choline:1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol-cholinephosphotransferase, acetyl-CoA:lyso-PAF-acetyltransferases, and PAF-AH/Lp-PLA2 are also related to dietary factors, such as the dietary antioxidant capacity (DAC). The aim of the study was to estimate whether the PAF metabolic circuit and related dietary factors are associated with PA in healthy volunteers. Methods In healthy subjects, PAF, its metabolic enzyme activity, and erythrocyte fatty acids were measured, while desaturases were estimated. Food-frequency questionnaires and recalls were used, and food groups, macronutrient intake, MedDietScore, and DAC were assessed. Lifestyle and biochemical variables were collected. DXA and BIA measurements were performed. Results Lp-PLA2 activity was positively associated with PA (rho = 0.651, p < 0.001, total population; rho = 0.780, p < 0.001, women), while PAF levels were negatively associated with PA only in men (partial rho = -0.627, p = 0.012) and inversely related to DAC. Estimated desaturase 6 was inversely associated with PA (rho = -0.404, p = 0.01, total sample). Moreover, the DAC correlated positively with PA (rho = 0.513, p = 0.03, women). All correlations were adjusted for age, body mass index, and sex (if applicable). Conclusion PA is associated with PAF levels and Lp-PLA2 activity in a gender-dependent fashion, indicating the involvement of PAF in cell membrane impairment. The relationship of PA with DAC suggests a protective effect of antioxidants on cellular health, considering that antioxidants may inhibit PAF generation.

Abstract
Nutritional status and body composition in cardiovascular (CV) patients are important aspects of their performance. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive method that provides reliable information about bioelectrical parameters which reflect nutritional status and body composition data. The aim of this paper was to describe BIA, its advantages, limitations, and clinical applications in CV patients. The PubMed database was searched for all papers showing the use of BIA in CV conditions until January 1, 2023. A total of 42 papers regarding BIA application in CV patients were identified. Phase angle, Z200/5 parameter, and membrane capacitance are the BIA parameters that can be used for nutritional status assessment in CV patients, mainly in heart failure and after myocardial infarction. Among secondary body composition parameters, fat mass can be used for obesity assessment which is a CV risk factor. Body cell mass can be used together which the direct BIA parameters for nutritional status assessment which is an important factor in treatment outcome, quality of life, and disease prognosis. Total body water can be used for hydration assessment in heart failure and during invasive procedures. To conclude, BIA is a noninvasive method that provides essential information about the general condition of the body which is the result of nutritional and hydration status in CV patients.

Abstract
The most challenging feature of heart failure (HF) still remains the evaluation of congestion. Residual congestion at discharge and the difficulties in perfectly dosing therapies in order to balance the hydration status of the patient are the most worrisome issues when dealing with HF.The use of bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) might promote a different approach in the general management of patients with HF. BIVA is a reliable, fast, bedside tool able to assess the congestion status. It proved to be helpful to physicians for diagnosing congestive status, managing therapies, and providing prognostic information in the setting of HF.Bioelectrical Phase Angle (PhA) - as derived from equations related to the parameters of BIVA - recently surged as a possible biomarker for patients with HF. Studies provided data about the application of PhA in the clinical management and in the overall risk stratification of HF patients.Basically, the use of PhA might be considered as a holistic evaluation of patients with HF which includes the need for a multiparametric approach able to effectively depict the clinical status of patients. There is no definite biomarker able to comprehensively describe and identify all the features of HF patient, but scores based on molecules/techniques able to explore the different pathogenetic mechanisms of HF are desirable.The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive evaluation of literature related to PhA role in HF and the impact of this biomarker on clinical management and risk stratification of HF patients.

Nutrition 2023; 112:112064. [PMID: 37263162 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2023.112064] [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: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to investigate whether phase angle (PhA) of bioelectrical impedance is associated with inflammatory markers in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). METHODS A search was performed in the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Latin American Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science and Scopus; and in the gray literature up to January 2022. Studies with individuals with CVDs were included, to evaluate the association between PhA and the inflammatory markers interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-18, IL-1β, IL-33, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, C-reactive protein (CRP), toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR 4, nuclear factor κB, pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules, lipopolysaccharides, interferon-γ-inducing factor, and JAK STAT. RESULTS We identified 755 articles and, after an eligibility analysis, 5 studies were included. The inflammatory markers investigated in the studies were CRP, TNF-α, and IL-33. In patients with CVDs, PhA was negatively associated with CRP and TNF-α in 80% and 100% of the studies, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The present results suggested that PhA is inversely associated with inflammatory markers in individuals with CVDs, and its clinical use is encouraged for better therapeutic planning.

Abstract
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is the most widely used technique in body composition analysis. When we focus the use of phase sensitive BIA on its raw parameters Resistance (R), Reactance (Xc) and Phase Angle (PhA), we eliminate the bias of using predictive equations based on reference models. In particular PhA, have demonstrated their prognostic utility in multiple aspects of health and disease. In recent years, as a strong association between prognostic and diagnostic factors has been observed, scientific interest in the utility of PhA has increased. In the different fields of knowledge in biomedical research, there are different ways of assessing the impact of a scientific-technical aspect such as PhA. Single frequency with phase detection bioimpedance analysis (SF-BIA) using a 50 kHz single frequency device and tetrapolar wrist-ankle electrode placement is the most widely used bioimpedance approach for characterization of whole-body composition. However, the incorporation of vector representation of raw bioelectrical parameters and direct mathematical calculations without the need for regression equations for the analysis of body compartments has been one of the most important aspects for the development of research in this area. These results provide new evidence for the validity of phase-sensitive bioelectrical measurements as biomarkers of fluid and nutritional status. To enable the development of clinical research that provides consistent results, it is essential to establish appropriate standardization of PhA measurement techniques. Standardization of test protocols will facilitate the diagnosis and assessment of the risk associated with reduced PhA and the evaluation of changes in response to therapeutic interventions. In this paper, we describe and overview the value of PhA in biomedical research, technical and instrumental aspects of PhA research, analysis of Areas of clinical research (cancer patients, digestive and liver diseases, critical and surgical patients, Respiratory, infectious, and COVID-19, obesity and metabolic diseases, Heart and kidney failure, Malnutrition and sarcopenia), characterisation of the different research outcomes, Morphofunctional assessment in disease-related malnutrition and other metabolic disorders: validation of PhA with reference clinical practice techniques, strengths and limitations. Based on the detailed study of the measurement technique, some of the key issues to be considered in future PhA research. On the other hand, it is important to assess the clinical conditions and the phenotype of the patients, as well as to establish a disease-specific clinical profile. The appropriate selection of the most critical outcomes is another fundamental aspect of research.

Raw bioelectrical impedance measurements are not different between White and Black adults when matched for sex, age, BMI, and other physical characteristics. Nutr Res 2023; 112:1-10. [PMID: 36933277 PMCID: PMC10079621 DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2023.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
Raw bioelectrical impedance measurements are often used as a prognosticator of health status because of their association with disease states and malnutrition. Although studies consistently show the effect of physical characteristics on bioelectrical impedance, few investigations describe the effect of race, particularly for Black adults, and many bioelectrical impedance standards were produced from primarily White adults almost 2 decades ago. Therefore, this study sought to evaluate the racial differences in bioelectrical impedance measurements using bioimpedance spectroscopy between non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black adults matched for age, sex, and body mass index. We hypothesized that Black adults would have a lower phase angle from higher resistance and lower reactance compared with White adults. One hundred non-Hispanic White (n = 50) and non-Hispanic Black (n = 50) males (n = 34) and females (n = 66) matched for sex, age, and body mass index completed this cross-sectional study. Participants underwent several anthropometric assessments, including height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, bioimpedance spectroscopy, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Bioelectrical impedance measures of resistance, reactance, phase angle, and impedance were all collected at frequencies of 5, 50, and 250 kHz and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis was performed using 50-kHz data. There were no significant differences for any anthropometric variable between Black and White participants in the total sample or by sex groups. In addition, there were no significant racial differences for any bioelectrical impedance assessment, including bioelectrical impedance vector analysis. Differences in bioelectrical impedance are likely not a function of race between Black and White adults and concerns regarding its utility should not be based on this characteristic.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malnutrition is a condition that negatively impacts the clinical outcomes of numerous diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and to investigate its relationship with the main clinical aspects of CAD. MATERIAL AND METHODS 50 CAD patients undergoing coronary angiography were enrolled in this study. The nutritional status assessment was based on Nutritional Risk Score 2002 (NRS 2002), body mass index (BMI), and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements. RESULTS The analysis showed a moderate inverse correlation between NRS 2002 and BIA phase angle measured at 50 kHz (R: -0.31; p = 0.03) and Z200/5 parameter (R: 0.34; p = 0.02). The analysis of CAD clinical parameters showed a significant correlation between NRS 2002 and Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class (R: 0.37; p = 0.01). Left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) was correlated with BMI (R: 0.38; p = 0.02), however further BIA revealed hydration changes as LVEF was correlated to intracellular (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) proportion: positively with ICF (R: 0.38; p = 0.02) and negatively with ECF (R: -0.39; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS NRS 2002 and BIA are valuable tools for nutritional status assessment in CAD patients. Malnutrition is related to the severity of CAD symptoms, particularly in women. Maintaining proper nutritional status can have a potentially important role in this group of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phase angle (PhA) has been used as mortality prognostic, but there are no studies about its possible use as a screening tool. Therefore, an assessment of the possible utility of PhA in clinical practice is required. The aim of this systematic review was to explore all recent available evidence of PhA, and its possible utility as a screening tool in clinical practice in subjects with chronic metabolic diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS This systematic review was performed and written as stated in the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect and SciElo. In order to be considered eligible, within the entire search, only articles involving PhA and their utility in metabolic diseases were included. RESULTS PhA was associated with hyperuricemia and vitamin D deficiency in obese subjects, and decreased cardiovascular risk and malnutrition in hospitalized patients. CONCLUSION PhA may be a potential screening tool in clinical practice to evaluate different biomarkers, cardiovascular risk, and nutritional diagnosis in metabolic diseases in adults.

Prognostic value of combined preoperative phase angle and handgrip strength in cardiac surgery. J Cardiothorac Surg 2022; 17:227. [PMID: 36057619 PMCID: PMC9440499 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-022-01970-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Phase angle (PA) constitutes a bioelectrical impedance measurement, indicating cell membrane health and integrity, hydration, and nutritional status. Handgrip strength (HS) has been also associated with body composition, nutritional status, inflammation, and functional ability in several chronic diseases. Although their prognostic significance as independent biomarkers has been already investigated regarding the outcomes of a cardiac surgery, our study is the first one to assess the combined predictive value of preoperative PA and HS. DESIGN AND METHODS HS and PA measurements were performed preoperativelyin 195 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The association ofthe combination of HS and PAwith all-cause mortality rates was the primary study outcome, while its association with the intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) was the secondary one. RESULTS PA was positively correlated with HS (r = 0.446, p < 0.005) and negatively with EuroSCORE II (r = - 0.306 p < 0.005). The combination of PA < 5.15 and HS < 25.5 was associated with higher one-year all-cause mortality (OR = 9.28; 95% CI 2.50-34.45; p = 0.001) compared to patients with PA > 5.15 and HS > 25.5, respectively. Patients with combined lower values of PA and HS (PA < 5.15 and HS < 30.7) were at higher risk of prolonged ICU LOS (OR = 4.02; 95% CI 1.53-10.56; p = 0.005) compared to those with higher PA-HS (PA > 5.15-HS > 30.7). The combination of PA-HS was also significantly linked with EuroSCORE II. CONCLUSION The combination of low preoperative PA and HS values was significantly associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality at 12 months and prolonged ICU LOS; thereby it might serve as a clinically useful prognostic biomarker after cardiac surgery procedures.

Abstract
Objectives The present study was designed to estimate phase angle percentile curves for a broad age range of healthy individuals. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of healthy Brazilian individuals aged five to 80. InBodyS10 was used to assess phase angle. Reference curves were stratified by sex and estimated using Generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape as a continuous function of age. The phase angle determinants analyzed were physical activity, age, BMI, and SES variables. Results Data were analyzed from 2,146 individuals, 1,189 (55.2%) of whom were female. In both sexes, the phase angles showed a similar pattern (an increasing trend from childhood to the teenage phase, followed by stabilization during adult ages and a decrease in old adults). In female, the relationship between phase angle and age were associated with BMI and family income. In the male, the relationship between phase angle and age were associated with skin color and family income. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, it is the first attempt to apply the GAMLSS technique to estimate phase angle percentiles in a healthy population covering most of the life cycle. We also showed that there are different phase angle determinants according to sex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The phase angle (PhA) measured with bioelectrical impedance analysis is considered to reflect the interrelated components body cell mass and fluid distribution based on technical and physical aspects of the PhA measurement. However, the biomedical meaning of the PhA remains vague. Previous studies mainly assessed associations of the PhA with numerous diseases and health outcomes, but few connected protein markers to the PhA. To broaden our understanding of the biomedical background of the PhA, we aimed to explore a proteomics profile associated with the PhA and related biological factors. METHODS The study sample encompassed 1484 participants (725 women and 759 men) aged 55-74 years from the population-based Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) S4 study. Proteomics measurements were performed with a proximity extension assay. We employed boosting with stability selection to establish a set of markers that was strongly associated with the PhA from a group of 233 plasma protein markers. We integrated the selected protein markers into a network and enrichment analysis to identify gene ontology (GO) terms significantly overrepresented for the selected PhA protein markers. RESULTS Boosting with stability selection identified seven protein markers that were strongly and independently associated with the PhA: N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2), adrenomedullin (ADM), myoglobin (MB), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase 2 (TGM2), and fractalkine (CX3CL1) [beta coefficient per 1 standard deviation increase in normalized protein expression values on a log 2 scale (95% confidence interval): -0.12 (-0.15, -0.08), -0.13 (-0.17, -0.09), -0.14 (-0.18, -0.10), 0.10 (0.07, 0.14), 0.07 (0.04, 0.10), 0.08 (0.05, 0.11), -0.06 (-0.10, -0.03), respectively]. According to the enrichment analysis, this protein profile was significantly overrepresented in the following top five GO terms: positive regulation of cell population proliferation (p-value: 1.32E-04), extracellular space (p-value: 1.34E-04), anatomical structure formation involved in morphogenesis (p-value: 2.92E-04), regulation of multicellular organismal development (p-value: 5.72E-04), and metal ion homeostasis (p-value: 8.86E-04). CONCLUSION Implementing a proteomics approach, we identified six new protein markers strongly associated with the PhA and confirmed that NT-proBNP is a key PhA marker. The main biological processes that were related to this PhA's protein profile are involved in regulating the amount and growth of cells, reinforcing, from a biomedical perspective, the current technical-based consensus of the PhA to reflect body cell mass.

Abstract
Background: The phase angle (PhA) can be used for prognostic assessments in critically ill patients. This study describes the perioperative course of PhA and associated risk indicators in a cohort of elective cardiac surgical patients. Methods: The PhA was measured in 168 patients once daily until postoperative day (POD) seven. Patients were split into two groups depending on their median preoperative PhA and analyzed for several clinical outcomes; logistic regression models were used. Results: The PhA decreased from preoperative (6.1° ± 1.9°) to a nadir on POD 2 (3.5° ± 2.5°, mean difference −2.6° (95% CI, −3.0°; −2.1°; p < 0.0001)). Patients with lower preoperative PhA were older (71.0 ± 9.1 vs. 60.9 ± 12.0 years; p < 0.0001) and frailer (3.1 ± 1.3 vs. 2.3 ± 1.1; p < 0.0001), needed more fluids (8388 ± 3168 vs. 7417 ± 2459 mL, p = 0.0287), and stayed longer in the ICU (3.7 ± 4.5 vs. 2.6 ± 3.8 days, p = 0.0182). Preoperative PhA was independently influenced by frailty (OR 0.77; 95% CI 0.61; 0.98; p = 0.0344) and cardiac function (OR 1.85; 95%CI 1.07; 3.19; p = 0.028), whereas the postoperative PhA decline was independently influenced by higher fluid balances (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.75; 0.99; p = 0.0371) and longer cardiopulmonary bypass times (OR 0.99; 95% CI 0.98; 0.99; p = 0.0344). Conclusion: Perioperative PhA measurement is an easy-to-use bedside method that may critically influence risk evaluation for the outcome of cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the leading cause of mortality worldwide. In order to diagnose CVDs, there are a range of detection methods, among them, the impedance cardiography technique (ICG). It is a non-invasive and low-cost method. In this paper, we highlight recent advances and developments of the CDVs diagnosis mainly by the ICG method. We considered papers published during the last five years (from 2017 until 2022). Based on this study, we expressed the need for an ICG database for the different CDVs.
