Validation of a bioelectrical impedance analysis system for body composition assessment in patients with COPD

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the validity of an eight-contact electrode bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) system within a household scale for assessing whole body composition in COPD patients. METHODS: Seventeen patients with COPD (mean age = 67 ± 8 years; mean FEV(1) = 38.6 ± 16.1% of predicted;...
