Body composition assessment is an important tool in both clinical and research settings able to characterize the nutritional status of individuals in various physiologic and pathologic conditions. Health care professionals can use the information acquired by body composition analysis for the prevention and treatment of diseases, ultimately improving health status. Here we describe commonly used techniques to assess body composition in healthy individuals, including dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, air displacement plethysmography, and ultrasonography. Understanding the key underlying concept(s) of each assessment method, as well as its advantages and limitations, facilitates selection of the method of choice and the method of the compartment of interest. This review contains 5 figures, 3 tables and 52 references Key words: air displacement plethysmography, bioelectrical impedance analysis, body composition, disease, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, health, muscle mass, nutritional status, obesity, sarcopenia, ultrasound fat mass

Abstract Nutrition has an important role in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and metabolic syndrome (MS). The goal of this study was to assess the nutritive status of patients treated with IBD and metabolic syndrome in the Gastroenterology Centre, Pauls Stradiòð Clinical University Hospital. Body bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) using GENIUS 220 PLUS (Jawon Medical) was used to determine Body Mass Index (BMI) kg/m², Metabolic Body Fat (MBF) kg, Soft Lean Mass (SLM) kg, Total Body Water (TBW) kg, body composition, metabolic type, Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) kcal, and total Energy Expenditure (TEE) kcal in patients with IBD and metabolic syndrome and in a similarly aged control group. The obtained data showed that BMI was not correlated with MBF, BTW and Lean Body Mass (LBM). Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) had normal value of BMI (M 24.3 kg/m²; F 20.2kg/m²), but we found variety-specific differences in body composition that confirmed deficiency or increase of specific body parameters. The performed prospective study confirmed the importance of the more precise nutritional status analysis, as it was clinically useful for the nutritional management of IBD. Patients with CD had expressed nutrient deficiency, sarcopenia, and reduced amount of proteins and minerals. For patients with MS, sarcopenia was present despite obesity.

Abstract Current guidelines do not recommend bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in patients with implanted cardiac devices. There is no data on the influence of such devices over the parameters assessed by BIA. We aimed to assess the influence of cardiac devices on the parameters assessed by BIA as well as to evaluate the likelihood of electromagnetic interference of BIA in patients with implanted cardiac devices. Sixty-two consecutive patients over 18 years of age who underwent single (PM) or multisite (CRT) pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD) implantation were included. Body composition assessment was done using a single frequency device, on both right and left sides, before and after cardiac device implantation. During BIA analysis after device implantation, we did real-time telemetry to assess electromagnetic interference. Patients were 67+14 years old and 51.6% male. PM was implanted in 52 patients (83.9%), ICD in 7 (11.3%), ICD with CRT in 2 (3.2%) and CRT in 1 (1.6%). During real-time telemetry, there was no electromagnetic interference including interruption of telemetry. Default device programming did not change after BIA assessment. After surgery, resistance and fat mass were smaller, while cellular mass, fat-free mass, metabolic rate and total body water/ body weight increased, on right and left sides measurements. We concluded that decreased resistance and related parameters after device implantation were probably influenced to a change in hydration status, regardless of the implanted device. Bioimpedance analysis is safe in patients with an implanted cardiac device.
