Bioimpedance: Practical Cases and Best Practices (French)
Menopause and body composition: contributions of bioimpedance
The physiological transition of menopause Menopause is a period in women’s lives characterized by a significant number of physiological changes, the main cause of which is the progressive decrease in hormone secretion by the ovaries, particularly estrogens¹. It generally lasts 4 to 5 years at a median age of 51 years²,³ and is characterized mainly […]

Phase Angle: A Marker to Monitor Athletes’ Fitness Status
Phase angle reflects cell-membrane integrity and health status; in athletes, it serves as a fitness marker. Acute exercise induces physiological stress; tracking phase angle helps adjust training load and recovery to optimize health and performance.
The Phase Angle: What Is It and Why Is It Becoming Necessary?
Phase angle is a raw bioelectrical parameter from bioimpedance, reflecting cell-membrane integrity and function. A high value is associated with good health; a drop between two measurements usually indicates deterioration. It also depends on age and BMI, hence reference values.
