Older adults living in the community or long-term residence such as a nursing home are at
increased risk for malnutrition due to factors such as depression and isolation. The purpose …

The skin is a complex biological tissue whose impedance varies with frequency. The
properties and structure of skin changes with the location on the body, age, geographical …

Bio-impedance is a method to assess the body composition safely, non-invasively and
inexpensively. This method finds application for assessing body fluid and body composition …

In this study we analyzed body composition in relation to cognitive and functional status, in a
cross-sectional sample of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Seventy individuals (27 …

Background and objective: Transdermal delivery of a therapeutic drug is a non-invasive
method of drug administration. For a controlled delivery of the maximum number of drugs …

Background In the absence of a gold standard technique for assessing nutrition status in
patients receiving hemodialysis (HD), we aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of …

Body bio-impedance is a unique parameter to monitor changes in body composition non-
invasively. Continuous measurement of bio-impedance can track changes in body fluid …

Objective: The bio-impedance (BI) of the body is a powerful parameter to assess the tissue
composition and fluid content. Widespread implementation of BI measurement systems is …

Objective Specific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (spBIVA) is a recently proposed
technique for the analysis of body composition. The aim of this study was to apply spBIVA to …

Objective To assess the association between whole-body and calf impedance vectors and
muscle mass and strength in a group of elderly individuals. Material and methods We …
