Phase angle reference values derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis in chinese multi-ethnic adults

Key Points

• The research aims to establish reference values for phase angle in relation to age, sex, and ethnicity in a Chinese population.
• Conducted bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in Chinese adults aged 20 to 80 years.
• Collected data specific to age, sex, and different ethnic groups.
• Analyzed the results to derive reference values for phase angle.
• Reference values for phase angle were established for various age and sex groups.
• The values showed significant variability across different ethnicities within the Chinese population.
• Findings suggest these values could improve diagnosis and prognosis of health conditions.
