Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Phase Angle

  Phase angle was evaluated with a Tanita body composition monitor (Tanita Corp., Tokyo, Japan). Electrodes are placed on both feet and both hands that send electrical signals from the body to a single independent unit. Voltages are measured at the top of the thumbs on both hands and both heels. A high-frequency electric current (90μA at 50 kHz) is applied, and the Resistance (R) and Reactance (xc) values are measured between the hands and feet. Internal software calculates the phase angle based on the following formula: Phase angle (PhA) = Reactance (xc) / Resistance (R) \* (180 / π)
