Description
Ruth Nekane Pita and co-authors review bioimpedance in a 2026 paper on clinical nutrition. The method passes a weak electric signal through the body to estimate fat, muscle, and water. It is cheap and painless, but its formulas and devices vary a lot.
The review covers the physics, the prediction models, and new tools such as wearable sensors and imaging forms. Growth in the research literature is still in an expanding phase, the authors find. They add a new factor that separates the role of body measures from the signal itself in standard formulas. One signal trait, phase angle, is the most studied descriptor. Recent work centres on obesity and muscle loss, while acute care stays under-studied.
