Bioelectrical impedance analysis of body composition in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: a prospective case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes can have impaired body composition. The aim of this study was to assess and compare body composition and phase angle, a cellular health indicator, in young patients with diabetes and healthy peers using a dual-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. Moreover, the influence of physical activity, glycemic control, disease duration, insulin dose, and delivery mode on body composition were explored. This was a prospective case-control study conducted on 46 patients with diabetes and 92 healthy subjects matched on the basis of pubertal status. BIA-ACC® analyzer, a dual-frequency device, was used to perform bioelectrical impedance analysis, and fat mass index and percentages of fat mass, free fat mass, total water content, extracellular and intra
