- Abstract
The article compares bioimpedance (BIA) research methods for measuring total body water (TBW) and resting energy expenditure (REE) using the Tanita TBF-310 body composition analyzer. It cites that research procedures such as deuterium (D²O) dilution and metabolic carts are posing a problem in the clinical setting. It stresses the need for accurate and precise measures of weight and body composition to test the efficacy of new strategies to stop an increase in body size.
