Bioimpedance phase angle

Bioimpedance phase angle predicts incident disability in humans (Low phase angle: HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.37–2.78).

Bioimpedance phase angle is associated with incident disability in humans (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.37–0.98).

“was independently associated with incident disability after adjusting the covariates [male: hazard ratios (HRs) = 0.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.37-0.98;”
