Background And Aim: Bioelectrical impedance analysis is used to assess human body composition. Studies have shown that meal ingestion and change of body posture affects bioelectrical impedance, but none has studied bioelectrical impedance variation in supine subjects. The aim was to examine the bioelectrical impedance variation in healthy subjects during 12 h in the supine position.
Methods: Bioelectrical impedance was measured 16 times during 12 h in 18 healthy subjects. An identical meal was given at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Results: Mean (standard deviation) impedance at 50 kHz increased from 558 (87) omega at study start to 584 (95) Omega at study end (P<0.05). Bioelectrical impedance is reduced after ingestion of the first meal, but not following the meals at 1230 and 1730. Calculated body fat content increased from a baseline mean (SD) of 21.7 (6.1) % body fat to 23.9 (6.7) % body fat at study end (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Bioelectrical impedance increased during 12 h in supine subjects. The increase is probably explained by a shift in body fluids from the extremities to thorax during the day and the importance of strict measurement standardisation both in epidemiological studies and clinical practice is underlined.

Objective: Childhood overweight and obesity has been a major global problem for a long time, with a steadily increasing prevalence of obesity and a growing number of cases of serious health complications associated with childhood obesity. The main objective of the study is to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys and girls before the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic.
Methods: Body height, weight, BMI, and body composition (fat free mass, skeletal muscle mass, body fat, visceral fat area) were assessed in a cohort of 4,475 subjects (2,180 boys and 2,295 girls) aged 6-15 years.

This study expanded the existing literature on obesity and distortion of body image by examining subjective and objective body type among young medical workers, specifically investigating whether fat percentage independently influences body type cognitive bias. We recruited 264 participants (41.29% male, mean age 26.

The purpose of this analysis was to investigate the associations between phase angle (PhA), body mass index (BMI) and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The retrospective cross-sectional study included 200 T2DM patients treated during 2018 to 2019 in Zhongda Hospital Southeast University. PhA and other body composition indicators were measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).

There is a growing need to evaluate the agreement between the field methods and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) using two-dimensional (2D) photos for enhanced real-world analysis. This study evaluated the agreement between AI-2D photos and the clinical reference method, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to estimate the body fat percentage (BFP). Other methods were also investigated, including skinfolds, A-mode ultrasound, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).
