Summary: This study evaluated the relationship between body water and the prognosis of cancer patients with sarcopenia. The results showed that the ECW/TBW indicator had the best predictive accuracy for survival, and the combination of high ECW/TBW and high NLR further increased the risk of mortality.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the clinical significance of phase angle (PhA), ratio of extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW), and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in anemia in patients with diabetes. The values of PhA, ECW/TBW, and SMI were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in 371 Japanese patients with diabetes. The results showed that PhA and SMI were positively correlated with hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (Hct) levels, while ECW/TBW was negatively correlated with Hgb and Hct levels. Furthermore, multivariate regression analysis revealed that PhA and ECW/TBW independently contributed to Hgb and Hct levels after adjusting for clinical confounding factors in both males and females.

Summary: A thorough understanding of body composition assessment techniques is crucial for developing personalized nutritional programs. The potential application and effectiveness of these techniques in different physiological and pathological conditions, as well as their role in monitoring dietary interventions, should be considered. Bioimpedance analysis, particularly vector frequency-based analysis (BIVA) systems, is currently the most effective and reliable method for assessing body composition due to its advantages in terms of speed, non-invasiveness, and cost efficiency.

Summary: The study found that an increased total body ECW/ICW ratio was associated with decreased handgrip strength and gait speed in community-dwelling elderly women, indicating a potential reflection of their health conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether ratios of body cell mass/fat-free mass (BCM/FFM) and extracellular water/intracellular water (ECW/ICW) are predictors of maximal oxygen uptake (V??O(2)peak) independently of age, sex, and objectively measured physical activity (PA). The results showed that the BCM/FFM and ECW/ICW ratios are significant predictors of V??O(2)peak, independent of age, sex, FFM, leg power, and objectively measured PA.

Summary: This study investigated the accuracy and precision of total body water estimates using different measurement conditions and techniques. It found that small differences in total body water measurement could lead to significant disparities in 2C models, with 5C models partially mitigating these differences.

Summary: This study validated the use of bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) compared to tracer dilution methods for assessing water compartments in athletes with varying hydration status. Results showed that BIS is useful at a group level but limited at an individual level, especially in dehydrated athletes.

Summary: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method that assesses fluid status by measuring electrical currents conducted through water. A systematic review and meta-analysis showed that patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) had higher extracellular water (ECW) and lower resistance (R) compared to controls. However, there was no significant difference in total body water (TBW) between the groups.

Summary: The study revealed that high PhA above 3.5 was associated with lower in-hospital mortality and a shorter duration of ICU stay, while frailty was associated with more mechanical ventilation days.

Summary: Higher total and regional fat-to-muscle mass ratios were associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, independent of BMI. This association was particularly prominent in individuals with a BMI >= 25 kg/m(2).

Summary: This study investigated the association between the appendicular extracellular-to-intracellular water ratio (A-E/I) and all-cause mortality. The study found a positive association between A-E/I and all-cause mortality in middle-aged and older Japanese adults, which remained significant after adjusting for skeletal muscle mass and handgrip strength.

Summary: This study aimed to validate the use of muscle ultrasounds as a complement to specific tests in the diagnosis of frailty. The results showed a correlation between muscle ultrasounds and bioelectrical impedance analysis, and it was found to be useful in identifying regional sarcopenia of the quadriceps in elderly patients with diabetes. Larger studies are needed to validate this simple and affordable screening method.

Summary: Studies on the association between PA and frailty are limited, but PA is considered a practical tool for identifying frailty early. This study investigated the relationship between PA and frailty/pre-frailty, as well as nutritional and clinical aspects in older individuals. The prevalence of frailty/pre-frailty was 84.3%, and age and ASMMI were identified as potential independent predictors for PA.

Summary: This study evaluated the predictive value of hydration of fat-free mass (FFM) on all-cause mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The results showed that the TBW/FFM ratio was significantly associated with extracellular water (ECW)/TBW, phase angle (PhA), and sex. The TBW/FFM had better predictive potential compared to other parameters.
