| Sumario: | Introduction: The assessment of body composition through the analysis of Bioelectrical Impendance (BIA) has increased in clinical practice and hospital with on the parameter of the phase angle (PA) with application in the prognosis of the development of several diseases. Objective: To evaluate the application of the phase angle in the evolution of the treatment of overweight or obese individuals. Materials and Methods: Critical narrative review through bibliographic survey of scientific materials and articles on the application of the PA as a tool in cases involving overweight or obesity. Results: The PA is related to the integrity of the cell membrane may indicate the evolution and severity of a disease and cellular balance especially in individuals with an inflammatory profile who are at high risk of oxidative stress and cell damage. Factors such as ethnicity, sex and age interfere with the use of the PA as a monitoring tool of the evolution of overweight and obesity making its isolated application difficult for this case. The lack of studies for populations and the lack of standardization in obtaining data limit the use in clinical and hospital practice when related exclusively to monitoring the evolution of overweight and obesity. Conclusion: The PA has potential as an auxiliary tool in the prognosis of overweight and obese individuals. The lack of reference values for this public is an obstacle to its application in clinical and hospital practice requiring more specific studies by ethnicity, sex, and age groups. |
