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

Completed

Conditions studied: Total Body Water Assessment

In brief

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.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 59. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• men and women between 18-59 years of age

You may not qualify if…

• 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.
