Body composition in 5–18-y-old obese children and adolescents before and after weight reduction as assessed by deuterium dilution and bioelectrical impedance analysis
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to develop an equation for the prediction of total body water (TBW) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in obese children and adolescents before and after weight reduction. In 146 obese subjects with a mean age of 12.7 +/- 3.0 y (5.5-17.8 y), TBW was measured by using deuterium dilution as well as the resistance index (RI; ht2/resistance) using BIA before and after weight loss. Initially, the RI …
