Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis and phase angle in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a disease characterized by progressive loss of func- tional muscle mass followed by changes in body composition. Objective: This study aimed to describe and evaluate bioimpedance parameters in boys with DMD. Design: This cross-sectional, descriptive study investigated children and adolescents diagnosed with DMD. Age, weight, height, resistance, and reactance data were collected. Phase angle and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis were...
