United States25 participantsStarted 2010-01

Plain-language summary

SPECIFIC AIM: Determine the validity of the Biospace bioelectrical impedance devices compared to deuterium water (D2O) measurements. HYPOTHESIS: The Biospace Body Composition Analyzers are valid tools for measuring total body water and body composition.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * men and women between 18-59 years of age Exclusion Criteria: * Acute illness (infection, recent surgery, trauma). * pregnancy * pacemaker or defibrillator * We would like to standardize the procedures and measurements in the adult population first. Older adults are excluded because by including older adults at this time, we would need to increase the sample size because we believe older adults have greater fluctuations in hydration due to medications, diet, and co-morbidities.
