Date:
Authors:
Brantlov S., Jødal L., Lange A., Rittig S., Ward L.
Journal:
Journal of medical engineering & technology
Topic:
This review analyzes the standardization of bioelectrical impedance (BIA) measurements of studies conducted in healthy pediatric populations. Standardization of methodology is essential for the clinical use of this technique. Therefore, this paper offers suggestions for improving standardization in future research.

Reliability and Intermethod Agreement for Body Fat Assessment Among Two Field and Two Laboratory Methods in Adolescents
Date:
2012
Authors:
Vicente-Rodríguez G., Rey-López J., Mesana M., Poortvliet E., Ortega F., Polito A., Nagy E., Widhalm K., Sjöström M., Moreno L., HELENA Study Group
Journal:
Obesity
Topic:
Bod-Pod, DXA, BIA, and anthropometry are all reliable methods for assessing body fat percentage (%BF). However, %BF obtained by Bod-Pod and BIA is significantly higher than %BF obtained by anthropometry and DXA.

Bioelectrical impedance vector values in a Spanish healthy newborn population for nutritional assessment
Date:
2019
Authors:
Redondo-Del-Río M., Escribano-García C., Camina-Martín M., Caserío-Carbonero S., Cancho-Candela R., de-Mateo-Silleras B.
Journal:
American journal of human biology
Topic:
Vector bioimpedance analysis (BIVA) revealed different vector distributions among male and female Spanish neonates. The data provide tolerance ellipses for healthy neonates, useful for detecting changes in hydration and cell mass during the first 3 days of life.

2023
Authors:
Gómez Santos E., López Lorente F., Fernández Fructuoso J., Cortés Mora P., Fuentes Gutiérrez C., Bosch Giménez V.
Journal:
Anales de pediatria
Topic:
Birth weight at 12 months is strongly associated with fat mass index (FMI) at 1 year of age on preterm and term infants. Preterm infants show differences in body composition compared to term infants.

Prevalence and outcome of malnutrition in pediatric patients with chronic diseases: Focus on the settings of care
Date:
2019
Authors:
Diamanti A., Cereda E., Capriati T., Giorgio D., Brusco C., Liguori A., Raponi M.
Journal:
Clinical Nutrition
Topic:
Pediatric patients with chronic diseases show a prevalence of malnutrition of 56.7% among inpatients, 33.3% in outpatient and 28.3% in day-hospitals. Hospitalized patients have greater nutritional alterations, with significant correlations between malnutrition and prolonged hospitalization.
