Phase angle as an indicator of nutritional status: a cross-sectional study on the Iranian population.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPhase angle (PA), derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis, serves as an indicator of cellular health, membrane integrity, and hydration status. Despite its potential utility, the relationship between PA and nutritional and lifestyle factors has not been extensively studied in Iranian populations. This study aimed to investigate these associations in Iranian adults.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 239 university employees (85 men and 154 women) with a mean age of 43.32 years. Anthropometric indices and blood pressure were measured. PA was measured by the Body Composition Analyzer Mc780 MA device. Dietary intakes were assessed by using a validated 86-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Physical activity was evaluated by the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Associations between PA and study variables were analyzed using Pearson's correlation and Linear Regression.
resultsSignificant positive correlations were observed between PA and several anthropometric and body composition indices, including weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), fat-free mass (FFM), muscle mass, bone mass, and visceral fat. PA showed significant associations with dietary intake variables.
conclusionsThis study highlights significant associations between PA and body composition and dietary factors in Iranian adults, with notable sex-based differences. These findings suggest that PA may be a valuable marker for assessing nutritional and cellular health.
