Summary: This study found that BIA-derived PhA is associated with 90-day mortality in critically ill children, with a low PhA being correlated with a prolonged duration of medical ventilation.

Summary: PhA, SPhA, and HGS are good prognostic markers of disease-related malnutrition, length of stay, and mortality in hospitalized patients, which can complement the nutritional assessment of admitted patients.

Summary: Sarcopenia refers to the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, which can be caused by various factors. Phase angle (PhA), measured through bioelectrical impedance analysis, has shown promising potential as a marker for sarcopenia in the future.

Summary: Malnutrition is a significant factor affecting the progression and mortality of cancer patients. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between different nutritional strategies, phase angle, and handgrip strength in cancer patients and their impact on other nutritional status indicators. The systematic review of randomized clinical trials showed that different nutritional strategies led to significant increases in phase angle and handgrip strength, suggesting their potential use in nutritional and functional assessment of patients.

Summary: Studies suggest that PhA may be lower in individuals/patients with obesity, with higher mean values in men compared to women. Longitudinal studies show a significant decrease in PhA after bariatric surgery and a slight increase after training programs.

Summary: Insight into body composition using bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) is valuable in the ICU setting, but its validity and interpretation in critically ill patients remain uncertain. Correlations have been found between BIA parameters and adverse outcomes in critical illness, but cut-off values and reference standards are still unclear, necessitating further research and validation.

Summary: This study aimed to clarify the possible association between phase angle (PhA) and skeletal muscle myosteatosis. The results showed a positive correlation between leg PhA and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in middle-aged to older adults, suggesting that PhA could provide additional information for evaluating muscle properties.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and bioimpedance phase angle (PhA) score. The study found that females with HT had significantly lower PhA scores, indicating that the inflammatory process in this autoimmune disease has an influence on cellular health and on the function of the entire body.

Summary: This study aimed to develop reference values of hand grip strength (HGS) in Italian women with different BMI ranges and identified the main predictors of HGS. The results showed that HGS exhibited different trends with increasing age in different age groups. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed variations in the main predictors of HGS among different BMI tertiles.

Summary: This study found that a PhA measuring device could be considered as a complementary tool for osteoporosis screening in post-menopausal women, but it was not correlated with bone mineral density in obese individuals.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate phase angle percentile curves for healthy individuals and found differences between sexes. The study found similar patterns of phase angle changes among different age groups and sexes, and identified associations with BMI, family income, and skin color as determinants.

Summary: PhA is decreased in sarcopenic subjects and the prevalence of sarcopenia is higher in subjects with low PhA. PhA and sarcopenia are independent predictors of survival in cancer patients and geriatric hospitalized patients.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the relationship between phase angle and sarcopenia in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The results suggest that phase angle may be a valid discriminator of sarcopenia in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the variations in bioimpedance analysis (BIA)-derived phase angle (PhA) among individuals with different weight status based on age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). The results showed that PhA was higher in men than in women, and it decreased linearly with age in women, while in men, the decline occurred after the age of 40. However, there were no significant differences in PhA with increasing BMI in either sex, except for potentially lower values when BMI was over 50 kg/m2. This study provides valuable insights into the assessment of PhA in obesity and its implications for prevention and clinical nutrition.
