Summary: This study investigates the effect of fasting on bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) results and its impact on the diagnosis of malnutrition in hospitalized cancer patients. The results suggest that fasting is not necessary for BIA, making it easier to use in routine practice for cancer patients.

Summary: The study found that SSc patients had lower values of phase angle, basal metabolic rate, and body cellular mass, along with an increase in extracellular water compared to healthy controls. Age correlated with ECW and inversely with PhA in SSc patients. Female sex, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, reflux, and early satiety/abdominal distension were associated with relevant alterations in BIVA results.

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: The study found a correlation between malnutrition and cognitive frailty among Thai elderly, with MNA-SF category and score being independently associated factors, while serum prealbumin level and anthropometric measurements showed no correlation with cognitive frailty. Advanced age and low educational level were also identified as risk factors for cognitive frailty.

Summary: The phase angle was found to be a predictive marker for hospitalization, falls, and mortality in outpatients with cirrhosis, with patients having a phase angle of ≤4.6 degrees showing higher rates of adverse events at 2-year follow-up.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in body composition and nutritional status of cancer patients during the perioperative period. The study found that the nutritional status of patients worsened after surgery, and there were significant changes in body composition. The changes in body composition were associated with preoperative serum nutritional indexes in patients with gastrointestinal cancer, while they were associated with age in patients with non-gastrointestinal cancer.

Summary: The relationship between sarcopenia and phase angle (PhA) was investigated in patients with hematologic malignancies, and cutoff values for PhA were determined. The study found that PhA was significantly associated with sarcopenia, and it could be used as a noninvasive and objective screening tool for sarcopenia in hematologic malignancies.

Summary: Combining traditional BIA with BIVA(specific) parameters can improve the accuracy of predicting body composition in children, effectively explaining the variability in fat-free mass and fat mass. This approach may be useful for pediatric patients.

Summary: This study explores the acceptability and utility of BIA in an outpatient haemodialysis setting. The findings indicate that both patients and clinical staff are satisfied with BIA and perceive it as valuable for monitoring nutrition status and improving fluid management. To increase the uptake of BIA in the haemodialysis setting, it is recommended to target its use to patient groups who would benefit the most.

Summary: The study evaluated the nutritional status of ALS patients at the beginning of specialized nutritional treatment and its influence on disease progression and survival. The results showed that patients with worse nutritional status had a lower survival median, highlighting the importance of nutritional status in ALS management.

Summary: Obesity is not a risk factor for very old patients with COVID-19, but underweight and malnutrition may increase the risk of in-hospital mortality, especially among patients with other diagnoses.

Summary: This study found a significant association between phase angle (PhA) and frailty in community-dwelling older adults, suggesting that PhA could potentially serve as a biomarker for assessing frailty. However, further research with larger samples is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study assessed the nutritional status and quality of life (QOL) in CKD patients compared to patients after kidney transplantation and identified factors influencing these outcomes. The results showed a correlation between malnutrition and decreased QOL, with a high risk of malnutrition in CKD patients. Therefore, assessing nutritional status and monitoring QOL should be included in the management guidelines for CKD patients.

Summary: The study found a strong correlation between appendicular skeletal muscle mass and functional quality with the risk of prevalence of pre-frailty in elderly individuals, with functional quality having a more significant impact.

Summary: This study compared the feasibility and prognostic impact of different assessment tools in patients undergoing continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (cf-LVAD) implantation. The study found that bioelectrical impedance analysis parameters and CT measurements were suitable to predict 6-month mortality and/or prolonged ventilation time >95 h in patients with advanced heart failure.
