Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis: A tool recommended by national and international clinical practice guidelines
Over the past two decades, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has become a mature technology, supported by abundant scientific literature and integrated into numerous clinical practice guidelines. By standardizing its modalities of use, these recommendations strengthen its scientific legitimacy, harmonize clinical practices, and promote its adoption in the assessment of body composition. The first recognitions of […]
Toward Clinically Feasible Assessment of Muscle Mass: Validation of a Seated Bioelectrical Impedance Device Against Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in Older Adults
Piche, E.; Michel, E.; Guerin, O.; Gouraud, E.; Chorin, F. Toward Clinically Feasible Assessment of Muscle Mass: Validation of a Seated Bioelectrical Impedance Device Against Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in Older Adults. Sensors 2026, 26, 5112. https://doi.org/10.3390/s26165112
BIVA: An Equation-Free Approach to Body Composition
Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA) is a non-invasive, equation-free method that evaluates hydration status and soft-tissue body composition using the bivariate analysis of raw electrical data obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). BIVA’s Evolution: Thirty Years of Progressive Refinement Since its introduction in 1994 by Piccoli et al.,1 BIVA has evolved from a nephrology-specific monitoring […]
Case Study – Children Module: Discovering the New Feature
To present the new feature of our devices, we illustrate its use through the case study of a 10-year-old boy, measuring 150 cm and weighing 35.8 kg. Born at term without complications (birth weight: 3,800 g), he presents normal development and up-to-date vaccinations. He reports no personal or family medical history. His lifestyle is balanced, […]
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Children: Between Necessity and Challenges
The year 2025 marks an unprecedented epidemiological turning point in the history of global child nutrition. For the first time, the prevalence of obesity in children exceeds that of underweight (9.4% vs 9.2%) [1]. Worldwide, one in five children aged 5 to 19 (391 million children) lives in an overweight situation, and 163 million live […]
