| Ding et al., 2018 [32] | Segmental | Supine—Lying position and the electrodes were attached in both ankles for legs and thumbs and middle fingers for arms | Free intake period before fasting | BCM 1, FM 2, FFM 3, and SMM 4 were obtained weekly using the InBody software from baseline until the end of treatment. FFMI 5 and FMI 6 values were calculated by dividing a patient’s FFM and FM values by the height squared (m2). |
| Grossberg et al., 2021 [5] | Segmental | Standing—One of three possible hand positions was selected such that the angle between the body and arms was as close to 30 degrees as possible. | To avoid additional barriers to adequate nutrition and exercise, participants were instructed to not alter their food intake or activity prior to measurement. | SMM, FFM, and FM. |
| Jager-Wittenaar et al., 2014 [9] | Segmental | Supine—Patients were put in a supine position 15 min before and during the measurement. | Patients were not allowed to eat or drink during the 4 h preceding the measurements. Patients were measured in their underwear, without shoes, and after voiding their bladders. | (ECW 7/ICW 8) ratio was calculated. R 9 and Xc 10 measured at 50 kHz were used to estimate FFM with the Geneva equation. |

| Bell et al., 2020 [42] | Segmental | Supine—Four electrodes were placed on the right side of the body in the following locations: (1) hand, (2) wrist, (3) foot and (4) ankle. | After voiding their bladder and removing all jewelry | R and Xc measurements. Measurements were performed twice, and the average R and Xc values were used to calculate FFM. |
| Jung et al., 2020 [33] | Segmental | Supine—Before the measurement, the patients rested in a lying down state for 15 min. In a stable position, patients’ arms were abducted to about 15 min. | Not mentioned. | TBW 15, total body skeleton, body FM, SMM, FFM and body fat percentage |
| Wilczyński et al., 2020 [46] | Segmental | Supine | In order to obtain the most accurate measurements, they were always carried out at the same time by the same trained person (between 18:00 and 20:00 p.m.) and under the same conditions, e.g., always before a meal. | Body mass (kg), BMI, FM, (%), FM (kg), FFM, MM (kg), TBW (kg) and TBW (%), MMLUL 16 (kg), MMRUL 17 (kg), LULFM 18 (kg) and RULFM 19 (kg). |
| Powell et al., 2020 [26] | Whole-body | Supine—The patient was supine and motionless throughout the test and the right arm was held equidistant from the torso during each assessment. | Not mentioned. | SMM (kg), FFM (kg), body fat (kg), ICW %, ECW %, TBW and PhA |
| Lee et al., 2021 [30] | Segmental | Supine—BIA was performed with patients in a standing position according to the manufacturer’s instructions after shoes, coats, and sweaters had been removed. | BIA was performed on the day of admission before intravenous hydration. | PhA, extracellular fluid and total body fluid, BCM, and appendicular skeletal muscle |
| Skroński et al., 2018 [27] | Segmental | Supine | The patients undergoing surgery were subjected to a two-fold body composition analysis procedure. The first measurement was carried out 1 day before the scheduled operation, the second measurement was made between the 5th and 6th day after surgery, before the patient was discharged from hospital. The measurement was carried out at 25 °C after at least 2.5 h from the last meal. | TBW, ICW, ECW, FFM, SMM, FM, BCM |

| Gao et al., 2020 [43] | Segmental | Standing | Patients with fasting condition and empty bladder stand with both arms 45° apart from the body trunk and with both feet bared on the spots of the platform. | TBW, total FM, fat percentage, LBM, SBM 21 and FFM. |
| Jones et al., 2020 [34] | Whole-body | Supine—The patient lay in a supine position, with shoes and socks removed. | Not mentioned. | FFM, FFMI. |
| Kim et al., 2020 [31] | Segmental | Standing | Body composition of all participants was measured after a minimum of 3 h of fasting and voiding before measurements. | TBW, ICW, ECW, the ECW ratio (ECW/TBW), SLM 22, FFMFM, percent body fat, SMM, BCM, and bone mineral content. |
| Palle et al., 2016 [35] | Segmental | Standing | The patients were instructed not to eat, drink or exercise one hour before the determination of FFM | FM Fat at torso BIA |
| Ræder et al., 2018 [40] | Two different BIA devices were used—one whole-body single-frequency BIA and a multifrequency segmental BIA | Supine (whole-body) vs. standing (segmental) | The patients were instructed to fast overnight and until all measurements were completed. They were also encouraged to void their bladders before measurements. | FFM (whole-body BIA) vs. FFM (segmental BIA) |
