Abstract
Validation studies of bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) were perfor med in children with obesity, Duchenne muscle dystrophy and juvenile r heumatoid arthritis. BIA allowed an accurate assessment of total body water in all groups (CV from 4.1 to 5.1%); However, the prediction of extracellular water by BIA was not always satisfactory (CV from 8.5 to 12.5%), being better in the groups of children with the lowest variab ility in body water distribution.
