The influence of body position on bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy measurements in young children

Abstract Bioelectrical impedance techniques are easy to use and portable tools for assessing body composition. While measurements vary according to standing vs supine position in adults, and fasting and bladder voiding have been proposed as additional important influences, these have not been assess...
