The diagnostic utility of bioelectrical impedance analysis in distinguishing precocious puberty from premature thelarche
We detected a MFR cutoff value of (2.96) with 58.8 % sensitivity and 58.4 % specificity, a cutoff value of (3.57) with 50 % sensitivity and 82 % specificity to differentiate CPP cases from others (PT and healthy controls). These rates are relatively low, but these are the first results in this field and may be guiding for studies conducted in large series.
