Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance for Estimating Total Body Water by Deuterium Dilution

University of Southern California

Status: Completed

Conditions: Total Body Water Assessment

Treatments: Other: observation

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT01607229

BIA-D2O-TBW

Details and patient eligibility

About

SPECIFIC AIM:

Determine the validity of the Biospace bioelectrical impedance devices compared to deuterium water (D2O) measurements.

HYPOTHESIS:

The Biospace Body Composition Analyzers are valid tools for measuring total body water and body composition.

Enrollment: 25 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 59 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• men and women between 18-59 years of age

Exclusion criteria

• Acute illness (infection, recent surgery, trauma).
• pregnancy
• pacemaker or defibrillator
• We would like to standardize the procedures and measurements in the adult population first. Older adults are excluded because by including older adults at this time, we would need to increase the sample size because we believe older adults have greater fluctuations in hydration due to medications, diet, and co-morbidities.
