Sarcopenia is defined as an age associated decline in skeletal muscle mass. The
pathophysiology of sarcopenia is multifactorial, with decreased caloric intake, muscle fiber …

Under the alternating electrical excitation, biological tissues produce a complex electrical
impedance which depends on tissue composition, structures, health status, and applied …

Because of the key role played by the body's lean tissue reserves (of which skeletal muscle
is a major component) in the response to injury and illness, its maintenance is of central …

Objectives To determine the prevalence range for sarcopenic obesity and its relationship
with sex, age, and ethnicity. Design Cross‐sectional analysis of a population‐based sample …

Background: Although consumption of 3 meals/d is the most common pattern of eating in
industrialized countries, a scientific rationale for this meal frequency with respect to optimal …

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a relatively simple,
inexpensive and non-invasive technique to measure body composition and is therefore …

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the predictive values of percent body fat
(PBF) and body mass index (BMI) for cardiovascular risk factors, especially when PBF and …

Objective: This study evaluated to what extent dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) and
two types of bioimpedance analysis (BIA) yield similar results for body fat mass (FM) in men …

Background. N-terminal fragment of B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a marker of
both fluid volume overload and myocardial damage, and it has been useful as a predictor of …

Context: Although dietary protein produces higher acute satiety relative to carbohydrate, the
influence of protein source and body mass index (BMI) has not been clearly described …
