INFORMATION
The BIA-ACC device simplifies the evaluation, analysis, and monitoring of body composition in its quantitative, qualitative, and functional aspects. Using a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance technology (BIA), it maximizes the efficiency of the measurements even when applied to patients suffering from a chronic inflammatory disorder or stress-related disorder.
Suitable for use in any clinical context, it is a non-invasive diagnostic tool able to detect in a precise, fast, and repeatable way a large set of parameters related to the body structure of the patient, pointing out the evolution during the recovery process of the psychophysical performance.
 
APPLICATIONS
The pathophysiological processes capable of determining changes in body composition are innumerable, and analysing them is a matter of particular interest in a very wide range of contexts, not just limited to clinical and sports environments. Among the most established and widely used applications of the BIA-ACC device, we may cite:
Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics - Clinical Nutrition Report
Physical mobility rehabilitation
Sport performance improvement
Diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular disorders
Diagnostics and monitoring of chronic inflammatory disorders and autoimmune diseases
Longevity and physical and mental performance
Differential diagnosis of vague and non-specific MUS (Medically Unexplained Symptoms)
 
DETAILS
The basic version of the device can detect the following parameters:
TBW, Total Body Water.
ECW, ExtraCellular Water.
ICW, IntraCellular Water.
FFM, Fat-Free Mass.
FM, Fat Mass.
ECMatrix, ExtraCellular Matrix.
BMR, Basal Metabolic Rate: energy expenditure under physical and mental maximum rest and fasting for twelve hours.
HPA Axis Index: circadian trend index of the expression of stress hormones.

Advanced applications
The BIA-ACC device can be used in combination with other advanced applications available on the BioTekna Plus integrated platform. This expands the device capabilities for analysis of body composition evolution and the nutritional and physical activity strategy for the improvement of mental and physical performance.
