ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

In an era when telemedicine is becoming increasingly essential, the development and validation of miniaturized Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) devices for accurate and reliable body composition assessment is crucial. This study investigates the BIA Metadieta, a novel miniaturized BIA device, by comparing its performance with that of standard hospital BIA equipment across a diverse demographic. The aim is to enhance remote health monitoring by integrating compact and efficient technology into routine healthcare practices.

METHODS:

A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 154 participants from the Clinical Nutrition Unit. The study compared resistance (R), reactance (Xc), and phase angle (PhA) measurements obtained from the BIA Metadieta device and a traditional hospital-based BIA device.

RESULTS:

Analysis revealed strong positive correlations between the BIA Metadieta and the hospital-based device for R (r = 0.988, P < 0.001), Xc (r = 0.946, P < 0.001), and PhA (r = 0.929, P < 0.001), indicating the miniaturized device's high accuracy and reliability. These correlations were consistent across different genders and BMI categories, demonstrating the device's versatility.

CONCLUSIONS:

The BIA Metadieta device, with its miniaturized form factor, represents a significant step forward in the field of remote health monitoring, providing a reliable, accurate, and accessible means for assessing body composition.
