Wrist-wearable bioelectrical impedance analyzer with contact resistance compensation function
Principle/Accuracy | PBF | MH JungJung et al. | 2016 | Korea | SENSORS, 2016 IEEE
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is used to calculate the body fat percentage of a human by applying a small amount of alternating current through a human body and measuring the impedance. As the electrode size of a BIA device becomes small, the measurement error of impedance becomes large due to the contact resistance between the electrode and human skin. Most commercial BIA devices, therefore, utilize electrodes large enough to ignore the effect of contact resistance, eg 35× 40 mm 2× 4EA. We propose a …
Interactions with the MC4R rs17782313 variant, mental stress and energy intake and the risk of obesity in Genome Epidemiology S
Endocrinology | PBF | Park S et al. | 2016 | Korea | Nutrition & Metabolism
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) regulates metabolism by modulating eating behavior and MC4R variants (rs17782313 and rs571312) are associated with obesity in Asians and Caucasians. However, the impact of their interactions with nutritional and lifestyle factors on obesity are poorly described. Therefore, we investigated the interaction of MC4R variants and dietary patterns on the risk of obesity in Korean middle-aged adults. Data collected included, genetic variations, anthropometric and biochemical measurements, dietary and …

Benefits of Arm Swing Exercise on Cognitive Performance in Older Women with Mild Cognitive Impairment. JEPonline 2016; 19 (6): 123-136. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of arm swing exercise (ASE) training on cognitive performance, oxidative stress, lipid profiles, and aerobic capacity in 24 women (65 to 87 yrs of age) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). After the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the subjects were randomly allocated to 12 wks of either a 30-min of supervised ASE per day for …
The effect of combination exercise training on cardiovascular risk factors (adiponectin, interleukin-6 and homocysteine) in sed
Cardiology | PBF | SRA Hosseini et al. | 2016 | Iran | International Journal of Applied Exercise Physiology
Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of mortality in all over the world. We evaluated the effect of eight weeks combined training on some cardiovascular risk factors in sedentary healthy middle aged men. Methods: 24 sedentary healthy, middle aged male subjects (age: 63.4±2.1 years, BMI: 23.1±2.5 kg/m2) participated in this study. Subject were randomly assigned to training (T, n= 12) and control (C, n= 12) groups. T group, underwent one training session per day, 3 days/week, for 8 weeks. Training program included both …

Body Composition Assessment | BMI | M Saeedy et al. | 2016 | Iran | International Journal of Applied Exercise Physiology
Background: strenuous training-induced reactive oxygen species is associated with several chronic diseases by damaging cell proteins and membrane lipids; it seems uric acid as a major intracellular antioxidant could lower membranous lipid peroxidation and muscle …
Validity and reliability of bioelectrical impedance analysis to estimate body fat percentage against air displacement plethysmo
Principle/Accuracy | PBF | P.R. von Hurst et al. | 2016 | New Zealand | NUTRITION & DIETETICS
Air displacement plethysmography (ADP) and dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) are well‐regarded methods for predicting body fat percentage (BF%). Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) also predicts BF% and has distinct advantages in research settings. Aim To assess the validity of BIA against ADP and DXA to measure BF%, and to test the reliability of each method. Methods Adults (n= 166) with a wide range of body mass index (19–38 kg/m2) were tested twice during a 5‐day period. ADP was conducted in a BodPod (Life …
Estimation of prevalence of sarcopenia by using a new bioelectrical impedance analysis in Chinese community-dwelling elderly pe
Principle/Accuracy | ASM | Hui Wang et al. | 2016 | China | BMC geriatrics
The aim of the present study was to validate the usefulness of the new octapolar multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for assessment of appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) by comparing it with that of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia in Chinese community-dwelling elderly according to Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) definition. A cross-sectional study was conducted in communities of Chengdu, China. A total of 944 community …

Body Composition Assessment | SMM, PBF | Ørntoft C et al. | 2016 | Denmark | British Journal of Sports Medicine
Objectives To evaluate whether a modified 'FIFA 11 for Health'programme for non-communicable diseases had effects on body composition, blood pressure and physical fitness of Danish schoolchildren aged 10–12 years. Design A cluster-randomised controlled study with 7 intervention and 2 control schools. Participants 546 Danish 5th grade municipal schoolchildren allocated to an intervention group (IG; n= 402: 11.1±0.4 (±SD) years, 150.1±7.0 cm, 41.3±8.4 kg) and a control group (CG; n= 144: 11.0±0.5 years, 151.2±7.8 cm …

The aim of the research was to determine an accuracy of measurement based on intra-trial concurrent and convergent validity of body composition (BC). Measurements were obtained via bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in comparison with the hydrodensitometry (HD) method in elite female soccer players (n= 14). BC was measured using three methods: bioelectrical impedance methods BIA 2000M and In Body 3.0, and HD.
