2 Phase angle the best predictor of outcome? Kristina Norman, PhD CHARITÉ Universitätsmedizin Berlin Research Group on Geriatrics

3 Background Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Clinical use of BIA in subjects at extremes of BMI ranges or with abnormal hydration cannot be recommended for routine assessment of patients until further validation has proven for BIA algorithm to be accurate in such conditions. ESPEN GUIDELINES Bioelectrical impedance analysis part I: review of principles and methods Clinical Nutrition (2004) 23 Requirements for algorithms with tetrapolar BIA: BMI range kg/m² undisturbed hydration

4 Increasing use of raw impedance parameters in clinical research and practise

5 I m p e d a n c e (Z) = Z 2 = R 2 + Xc 2 R e s i s t a n c e (R) = pure opposition of a biological conductor to alternating electric current R e a c t a n c e (Xc) = capacitive effect produced by the tissue interfaces and cell membranes P h a s e A n g l e (α) Reactance 180 x Resistance π

22 Standardized phase angle in cancer: Prognostic impact on 6-mo mortality (weight loss) 1 = 399. Age, sex, standardized phase angle, Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), BMI, handgrip strength, tumor type, disease severity, and type of treatment were introduced into the generalized linear model regression model.
