Application of bioimpedance analysis in clinical practice: literature review

The purpose of this literature review was to conduct a meta-analysis on the application of the bioimpedance measurement method in clinical practice. MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and eLibrary resources were used to search for materials from 2010 to 2021. The terms of inclusion in the search criteria were “bioimpedance analysis”, “hydration”, “body composition”, “bioimpedance measurement”. As a result of the search, 833 articles were found. Studies show that the observation of a deviation from the norm of such an indicator as the amount of water in the body (total, extracellular and intracellular) is considered one of the key factors that is used in bioimpedance measurement in clinical practice. Abnormal shifts in the body fluid are the most important indicators that can be used to assess the health of the human body.
