The accurate assessment of Body Composition and Fluid Monitoring is vital in healthy and clinical Preterm, Neonatal and Pediatric population.
Babies undergo rapid complex periods of growth and physical development that is normal in infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
In clinical and research settings thorough understanding of the changes in Body Composition and Fluid Status of Preterm, Neonatal and Pediatric is essential in order to deliver appropriate therapy.
Evidence suggests that baby’s Fluid Status, Body Fat, Muscle and Bone play an important role in regulating the whole body energy metabolism.
The assessment of Body Composition and Fluid Status with the BioScan touch i8 – nano can provide vital information, this is especially important when assessing malnutrition and metabolic risk in patients with chronic disease.

Assessment of Body Composition is important in day to day routine clinical practise.
Measuring just length and weight of a baby does not provide accurate information in changes of Fluid Status, Fat Mass, Fat Free Mass, and Malnutrition.
Correct fluid and electrolyte balance is essential to maintain physiological function in children.

Growth Score
Monitoring and tracking each child’s development is vital.
Growth charts can help care providers follow a child as they grow
Early indication – early intervention.
These charts may provide early warning of any medical complications which allows early intervention that is so important for improving a child’s skills and abilities. It can also help detect over, underweight and stunted growth due to underlying medical conditions. It can help provide reassurance about normality.
Height for age
BioScan touch i8 – nano height-for-age reflects attained growth in length at the child’s age. This helps identify children who are stunted due to prolonged undernutrition or repeated illness. Children who are tall for their age can also be identified, but tallness is rarely a problem unless it is excessive and may reflect uncommon endocrine disorders.
Weight for age
A baby’s birth weight is an important marker of health. Very small babies or very large babies are at greater risk for problems.
BioScan touch i8 – nano weight-for-age reflects body weight relative to the child’s age on a given day. This indicator is used to assess whether a child is underweight or severely underweight.
If a child has oedema or fluid retention this increases the child’s weight, masking what may actually be very low weight.
BMI for age tables
An indicator useful for screening for overweight and obesity.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems in children.
The amounts of body fat, muscle, and bone change which occurs with age differs between boys and girls.
BMI and BMI-percentile-for-age do not directly measure body fat. Very athletic kids can have a high BMI-for-age due to extra muscle mass, not necessarily excess body fat. As a result, a child may have a high BMI for their age and gender, but to determine if excess fat is a problem, a health care provider would need to perform assessment using BioScan touch i8 – nano
