Application of bioimpedance analysis in the assessment of body composition and nutritional status in children

Abstract

The present study aims to assess the applicability and diagnostic value of bioimpedance analysis (BIA) as an objective tool for determining body composition and evaluating the nutritional status of children across various age categories. Particular attention is given to identifying alterations in fat, lean, and fluid compartments that may reflect states of malnutrition, excessive adiposity, or disturbances in metabolic homeostasis.
