Body Composition Measurements in Pneumonia
The purpose of this study is to validate and standardize bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA, Maltron BioScan touch i8) for estimating body composition in hospitalized elderly patients with pneumonia. Body composition assessments with BIA and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA,

About this study
Holigic Discovery) was performed on 36 non-fasting patients over 65 years of age. 29 patients had BIA performed within 24 hours after hospital admission and at the date of discharge. 17 patients had BIA performed in fasted state and one hour after an intake of 300 ml glucose solution.

Treatment and study plan
BIA and DXA
Diagnostic TestPatients with acute pneumonia measured simultaneously with DXA-scan and BIA-impedance
Primary outcomes
-
Correlation between LBM (lean body mass) with DXA and BIA
Time frame: within 3 days
At admittance both methods.
Secondary outcomes
-
Development in lean-body-mass during hospital stay
Time frame: 3-10 days (hospital stay)
Repeated measurement with BIA during the state of acute infection
-
BIA measured before and after oral glucose load test
Time frame: 1 hour
To investigate for the effect of fasting on the determination of total body water with BIA
