Charder devices are widely used for research around the world and have been used in more than a thousand published papers. The number of studies using these devices shows confidence in the accuracy and reliability of their measurements! Here is a short overview of selected scientific papers from 2024 describing studies that used these products.

Reduction of the free androgen index in overweight women after sixty days of a low-glycaemic diet.

Hyperandrogenism is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women. Clinically it shows as hirsutism, acne and hair loss. A healthy lifestyle, including dietary patterns and physical activity, can affect the clinical symptoms of the disease. The study determined the effect of an anti-inflammatory, low-glycaemic-index diet on testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels. The study used the Charder MA601 to measure body composition.

Identifying key factors for predicting the age of peak height velocity in young team sport athletes.

Maturation is a key factor in sports participation and often determines the performance level of young athletes. This study used explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) models with various input factors, such as height, body fat, weight and grip strength, to predict performance. The study used the Charder MA801 to measure body composition.

Is the fat-to-lean mass ratio a better predictor of heart rate variability than body mass index?

Identifying and predicting cardiometabolic risk early is important for improving health outcomes. This study examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI), fat-to-lean mass ratio (FTLM) and heart rate variability (HRV), which is used as a key indicator of cardiac function. BMI was measured with the Charder MS4900 physician column scale.

Grip strength measured with a dynamometer and the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire as predictors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, assessed with the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment.

The study used the Charder MG4800 dynamometer to measure grip strength and assess its link with musculoskeletal disorders.
People with reduced grip strength and hand function were found to be more likely to develop work-related musculoskeletal disorders, which shows the value of such screening for identifying problems as early as possible.

The effect of a supplemental nursing system on sucking success, weight gain and bilirubin levels in newborns: a randomised controlled trial.

The study population consisted of 71 infants cared for and treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a hospital in a province in eastern Turkey between February and June 2023. The infants' body weight was monitored with a Charder baby scale, and bilirubin levels were measured with a Dräger transcutaneous bilirubinometer.

The effect of sex, urbanisation and dietary preferences on the body composition of university students after COVID-19

The COVID-19 lockdown significantly changed students' lifestyles, affecting their physical activity and eating habits, which in turn affected their body composition.

Aim: This study examined the effect of sex, urbanisation and dietary preferences on students' body composition after the COVID-19 lockdown.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 410 students (235 men, 175 women) classified by urbanisation (200 urban, 210 rural) and dietary habits (147 vegetarians, 263 meat eaters). Body composition parameters were measured with the MA601 body composition analyser.
