Bioimpedance index for measurement of total body water in severely malnourished children: Assessing the effect of nutritional oedema

Summary Background & objectives Restoration of body composition indicates successful management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Bioimpedance (BI) index (height2 /resistance) is used to predict total body water (TBW) but its performance in SAM, especially with oedema, requires further investi...
