Introduction: Data on body composition in patients with achondroplasia are scarce. The Phase Angle (PA) is a bioelectric measurement of our body cells. The PA is considered to be a global prognostic factor that gives information about cellular function in relation to body composition.Objectives: To describe body composition parameters PA, standardized PA (sPA), resistance (Rz), reactance (Xc), body cell mass (BCM), total body water (TBW), fat mass (FM), ...
