If we consider the individual elements, a typical 70kg (154lb) adult body consists of about 46kg (101lbs) of oxygen, 13kg (27lb) carbon, 7kg (15lb) hydrogen, 2kg (4lb) nitrogen and a kilo (2lbs) of...

Background: Breast #Cancer survivorship requires attention to treatment-related changes in body composition, nutritional status, and quality of life. Bioelectrical impedance phase angle is influenced by tissue electrical properties and fluid distribution and may provide complementary whole-body and segmental information. Objective: This study described perioperative body-composition and phase-angle measures in women undergoing breast #Cancer surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or treated through a surgery-first pathway. It also estimated T0-to-T2 changes and documented the availability of selected longitudinal variables. Methods: BC-NUTRITION (Body Composition and Nutrition Trajectories in Breast #Cancer) is a prospective 2-cohort observational study with 5 planned assessments from admission to 6 months after discharge. The present exploratory pilot analysis included 30 women in cohort A, assessed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 65 women in cohort B, who were treated through a surgery-first pathway. T1 measurements were displayed descriptively; inferential analyses used T0 values and participant-level T0-to-T2 changes. T0 between-cohort comparisons used Welch 2-sample tests, within-cohort changes used paired tests, and between-cohort differences in change used Welch tests. Benjamini-Hochberg values were calculated across the 13 between-cohort change comparisons. Results: All 95 participants had complete data for the 13 selected longitudinal variables at T0, T1, and T2. At T0, cohort A had lower albumin, absolute lymphocyte count, prognostic nutritional index, and whole-body 50-kHz phase angle. The whole-body phase-angle means were 4.64° (SD 0.66) and 5.23° (SD 0.62), with a difference of −0.59° (95% CI −0.88° to −0.31°;
