Sentence examples for bia method from inspiring English sources

In the conventional foot-to-foot BIA method, there are four electrodes situated at each foot plate while the direct segmental multifrequency BIA (DSM-BIA) method has eight electrodes on each foot plate and hand handle.

Body composition (fat and lean mass) was estimated by the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method with a Biodynamics 450 analyzer (Biodynamics 450® version 5.1, Biodynamics Corporation, Seattle, WA, USA).

This technique provides a valid measure of total body fat in older adults compared to the traditional hand-to-foot BIA method [23] [24].

Thus, the BIA method can provide estimates of fat free mass (or total body water) in DMD [41], but it cannot provide estimates of muscle mass.

An important advantage of our study was that we used the BIA method to directly assess total body fat mass and WC for visceral fat, thus overcoming the burden of using only BMI as an adiposity measure in elderly persons.

The assessment based on the BIA method.

BIA methods are used to noninvasively measure the ECW, ICW, and TBW and calculate the free fat mass and fat based on empirical equations [ 19].

The difference in BF% determined by foot-to-foot BIA and DSM-BIA was plotted against the average BF% obtained from the two BIA methods, represented in the Bland-Altman distribution.

The BF% values obtained from the other multiple-frequency BIA methods have also been cross-validated with the DXA scan in adults [ 4, 10– 13] and children [ 11, 14, 15].

BIA methods validity has been tested, taking BF% as the outcome variable; with a range of reference techniques including, total body water hydrodensitormetry, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and air displacement plethysmography [ 9, 18].

Moreover, a recent study that investigated the intrinsic error of the BIA methods for estimating body fluid volume/composition in chronic dialysis patients demonstrated that such estimates can be consistent at a population level, but not always at the individual level due to wide limits of agreement [ 14].
