TL;DR

BIA shows a strong to very strong correlation with DXA but poor concordance for every body composition and bone parameter in paediatric CKD stages 3–5, with clinically unacceptable limits of agreement.

Agreement of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Prediction Equations with Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry for Tracking Resistance Training-Induced Changes in Fat-Free Mass in Older Women

This study examined the agreement between commonly used bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) prediction equations and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for tracking resistance training-induced changes in fat-free mass (FFM) in older women. One hundred and five older women (68.4 ± 5.8 years) completed a 24-week s...

Evaluation of the relationship between automated software-derived bone health index and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry-measured bone mineral density in chinese children with chronic illness.

BHI should be regarded as a complementary tool rather than serving as a direct surrogate for DXA, as it highlights that BHI and DXA BMD assess distinct bone properties that are differentially influenced by systemic treatment like glucocorticoids.

Acute water ingestion influences lean soft tissue estimation from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry: implications for clinical diagnosis.

BACKGROUND & AIMS Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a common method for estimating lean soft tissue (LST), which is crucial for diagnosing skeletal muscle conditions (e.g., sarcopenia). However, the accuracy of DXA can be compromised by external factors, including acute water ingestion (AWI). While prior resear...

DUAL-ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY (DXA) IN THE SYSTEMIC ASSESSMENT OF BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN WOMEN OVER 55 YEARS OLD

It has been proven that in patients with overweight and severe degenerative-dystrophic lesions of large joints, BMD assessment and local analysis of the epimetiphyseal zones of the knee joint possess high diagnostic accuracy, allowing timely diagnosis of osteoporosis and verification of sarcopenic changes.

A DXA-based profile of body composition in celiac patients: a cross-sectional retrospective study.

In this cohort, the modern CD phenotype presents a preserved soft tissue composition, however, low BMD remains a persistent finding, particularly in premenopausal women, underscore the necessity of systematic DXA screening in adult CD patients, regardless of their body mass index or clinical presentation.
