Body composition helps: Differences in energy expenditure between pregnant and nonpregnant females

Date:

2021

Authors:

Prado-Nóvoa O., Rodríguez J., García A., Mateos A.

Journal:

American journal of human biology

Topic:

This study compares the effect of body weight on energy expenditure (EE) on pregnant and non-pregnant women. Although pregnant women have altered body composition, the EE per kg of FFM is similar in both groups.

Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA) for the monitoring of body composition in pregnancy

Date:

2022

Authors:

Moroni A., Vardè C., Giustetto A., Stagi S., Marini E., Micheletti Cremasco M.

Journal:

European journal of clinical nutrition

Topic:

During pregnancy, significant changes in BIVA variables occur due to the physiological increase in body water and hydration. Vector analysis is a tool for the monitoring of body composition and the early detection of disease-related abnormalities during pregnancy.

Screening for pre-eclampsia in the first trimester: role of maternal hemodynamics and bioimpedance in non-obese patients

Date:

2016

Authors:

Gagliardi G., Tiralongo G., LoPresti D., Pisani I., Farsetti D., Vasapollo B., Novelli G., Andreoli A., Valensise H.

Journal:

Ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology

Topic:

Inotropy index, fat mass and combined screening for pre-clampsia are predictive markers of complications during pregnancy. Therefore, the combined assessment of bioimpedance and hemodynamics can predict cardiovascular problems and changes in body composition in the third trimester of pregnancy.
