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 […]

Perspectives for BIA after ECO2026
The 33rd European Congress of Obesity (ECO2026), held in Istanbul from 12–15 May 2026, offered a comprehensive view of the current state and future directions of the obesity field. The obesity field is at a pivotal moment, shaped by three converging forces: the pharmacological revolution driven by GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists, the push to reframe obesity […]
