The Validity of Bioelectrical Impedance Models in Clinical PopulationsBioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is the most commonly used body composition technique in published studies. Herein we review the theory and assumptions underlying the various BIA and bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) models, because these assumptions may be invalidated in clinical populations. Single‐frequency serial BIA and discrete multifrequency BIA may be of limited vali... ...

Comparison of Ideal Body Weight Equations and Published Height‐Weight Tables With Body Mass Index Tables for Healthy Adults in the United StatesThe purpose of this paper was to compare the ideal body weight (IBW) formulas and published height‐weight tables for healthy adults in the United States with the body mass index (BMI) of 22 kg/m2 , which is associated with lowest mortality. There are numerous formulas and published height‐weight tables available to determine IBW, but there are no published studies compa... ...
