Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals associations between phase angle and ECW/TBW ratio in central obesity, suggesting implications for nutritional assessment.

Key Points

  • Phase angle was positively associated with skeletal muscle index and fat-free mass index in individuals with central obesity.
  • ECW/TBW ratio showed strong positive associations with fat mass index and visceral adipose tissue, indicating fluid imbalance.
  • This cross-sectional study assessed 741 adults with central obesity using bioelectrical impedance analysis for body composition.
  • Lower phase angle and higher ECW/TBW ratio may highlight sarcopenic obesity, suggesting complementary tools for risk stratification.
