Acute Infection Respiratory
Conditions
Brief summary
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,
Detailed description
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.

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