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

Completed
Conditions
Total Body Water Assessment
Interventions
Other: observation
Registration Number
NCT01607229
Lead Sponsor
University of Southern California
Brief Summary

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.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
25
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.
