Bioelectrical Impedance in Premature Newborns and Its Relationship with Diet Therapy in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

(1) Background: To estimate resistance, reactance, and phase angle values among moderate preterm infants and their variation according to neonatal and maternal characteristics and nutritional intake. (2) Methods: This was a cohort that evaluated 43 moderate preterm infants using bioelectrical impedance analysis. The study variables included resistance, reactance, and phase angle measurements, in addition to classification of nutritional intake.

Application of bioelectrical impedance in newborns: an integrative review.

Objective: the objective of this study was to identify the use of bioelectrical impedance in newborns (NB), as this is an easy-to-apply and non-invasive method of measurement that can be used for distinguishing fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), and total body water (TBW). Method: this was an integrative review of the literature using the PUBMED/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Virtual Health Library databases to search for original articles between 2010-2020. A total of 900 articles were retrieved; after checking for duplicity and applying the eligibility criteria, 9 were further analyzed.

Time trends of hypertension and diabetes mellitus prevalence among adults registered in the Brazilian National Health System, in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil, 2004-2011.

Objective: to investigate the time trend of prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and both diseases combined, from 2004 to 2011; and to analyze their association with sociodemographic factors in adults registered in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) in Florianópolis-SC, Brazil, in 2011.

Methods: time-series study using secondary data from the Primary Health Care Information System of adults (≥20 years) at SUS; Prais-Winsten regression was used.

Results: from 2004 to 2011, prevalences of hypertension (7 to 13.
