Measuring bioelectric impedance outputs following coffee consumption in healthy adults using an 8-electrode segmental BIA device by Christopher Chamberlin, Aldo Lena, Dimple Radia, Dale Rees, John Lodge, James Rutherford, Bruno Cesar da Silva dos Santos, Bhaven Patel, Shawn McLaren

“…Participants (n = 13) received one of three treatments per visit: 200 mL hot water (80°C) mixed with 5 g instant coffee, 2.5 g instant coffee with 2.5 g decaffeinated coffee, or 5 g decaffeinated instant coffee. Body composition and fluid parameters were measured over 50 minutes using a Seca mBCA 515 device.Results The treatment predictor (p > 0.05) and sex-time-treatment interaction for all outcomes was found to be non-significant (p > 0.05). …”
