This Research Topic is part of the Multidimensional Physiology: Novel Techniques and Discoveries with Bioimpedance Measurements series: Multidimensional Physiology: Novel Techniques and Discoveries with Bioimpedance MeasurementsBioimpedance focuses on the electrical properties of biological tissues and their resistance to externally applied electric currents. This technique, which involves the use of surface electrodes to measure voltage changes, has become integral in assessing body composition and various physiological or pathological states. Its applications are diverse, ranging from Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) for nutritional assessments to Impedance Cardiography (ICG) for cardiac output estimation, and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) for lung monitoring. The field has seen a significant increase in scholarly interest, with over 7,000 publications indexed on PubMed, highlighting its growing importance. Despite its widespread use, there remain gaps in understanding the physiological basis of bioimpedance characteristics and their applications in specialized environments such as aviation and space medicine. Current research is focused on bridging these gaps and exploring new applications of bioimpedance techniques.This Research Topic aims to deepen our understanding of the relationship between physiology and bioimpedance, and to explore the physiological basis of bioimpedance characteristics in both healthy and diseased states. It seeks to uncover new physiological or medical applications of emerging bioimpedance techniques, particularly in specialized environments. The research will address specific questions such as how bioimpedance can be further utilized to assess physiological conditions and what novel applications can be developed to enhance medical diagnostics and treatment.To gather further insights in the field of bioimpedance, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:- Utilization of Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) or spectroscopy for evaluating body composition and assessing malnutrition;- Impedance Cardiography (ICG) techniques for analyzing cardiac output under various physiological conditions;- Applications of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in physiological and medical settings;- Use of Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM) for determining muscle fatigue or damage extent;- Innovations in bioimpedance techniques aimed at advancing physiological or medical knowledge.We strongly encourage the submission of various article types to this collection, particularly systematic reviews, narrative reviews, and original research papers that contribute to the body of knowledge on any aspect of bioimpedance in physiological or medical research.
