Sensory Nerve Conduction Amplitudes and Z‐Compounds Depend on Body Mass Index in Overweight and Obese Individuals
Sensory NCS amplitudes depend on BMI in obese and non-obese subjects. Lower reference limits for several sensory amplitudes should probably be adjusted for BMI. Reference limits for amplitude-dependent Z-compounds should be corrected for BMI. The findings have relevance for all patients investigated with nerve conduction studies, in particular, patients with suspected axonal polyneuropathies.
