Phase angle and vector analysis in the evaluation of body composition in sarcopenic obesity: A systematic review
Research is still quite heterogeneous in terms of methods and diagnostic procedures, which limits the comparability of the results. However, the observed tendencies confirm the suitability of PhA for recognizing the reduced muscle mass associated with sarcopenia, while specific BIVA also appears capable of detecting excess fat mass related to obesity. Further research is needed to standardize procedures for characterizing sarcopenic obesity and monitoring its progression.
