Malnutrition and sarcopenia are highly prevalent in patients with head neck cancer (HNC). An accurate early diagnosis is necessary for starting nutritional support, as both are clearly associated with clinical outcomes and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the applicability and accuracy of body composition analysis using electrical bioimpedance vectorial analysis (BIVA) for diagnosing malnutrition and sarcopenia in patients with HNC cancer undergoing systemic treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

使用生物电阻抗分析改善头颈癌患者的营养评估：不仅相位角很重要


营养不良和肌肉减少症在头颈癌 （HNC） 患者中非常普遍。准确的早期诊断对于开始营养支持是必要的，因为两者都与临床结果和死亡率明显相关。我们旨在评估使用电生物阻抗矢量分析 （BIVA） 进行身体成分分析诊断接受化疗或放疗全身治疗的 HNC 癌症患者营养不良和肌肉减少症的适用性和准确性。
