Age and Body Water Distribution: A Bioimpedance Study

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – 83 Years

Healthy volunteers: Yes

Enrollment: 568

Sponsor: Medical University of Silesia

Location: Department of Basic Biomedical Science, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Sosnowiec, Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland Sosnowiec

Summary

This study examines how body water distribution changes with age. Using a non-invasive body composition device (bioelectrical impedance analysis), researchers measured the amount of water inside and outside the body's cells, both for the whole body and separately for the arms, trunk, and legs, in adults aged 18 to 83. The study explores whether the balance between water inside and outside cells shifts as people get older, independent of their body weight, and whether this pattern differs between men and women or between different parts of the body.
