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