Segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis for Korean older population with cold pattern.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study examined the association of whole-body composition and segmental bioimpedance variables with cold pattern (CP) in different sexes.

Methods

We assigned 667 older individuals to a CP group (n = 488) and a non-CP group (n = 179) by using an eight-item self-administered questionnaire. Seven body composition variables and three pairs of segmental bioimpedance variables for the upper and lower extremities, which were obtained from a segmental multifrequency bioimpedance analyzer, were employed to investigate their association with CP. Participants' characteristics were first described. Then we compared the selected body composition and bioimpedance variables between the CP and non-CP groups. Finally, their association with CP was investigated usi
