Resumo(s)
Several researches have been carried out to see the relation
between the Phase Angle (PhA), disease and several health risks factors.
Ageing is associated with the loss of muscle mass and changes in body
composition, which result in a decrease of the PhA. Malnutrition and
inflammation have been reported to have a strong influence on PhA in
diseased individuals. Subjects with Osteoarthritis (OA) have decreased
muscular strength and pain. The aim of this study was to understand if
the PhA was altered in patients with OA and if it's related with pain,
muscular mass and strength.
