Therefore, an assessment of the possible utility of PhA in clinical practice is required. The aim of this systematic review was to explore all recent available evidence of PhA, and its possible utility as a screening tool in clinical practice in subjects with chronic metabolic diseases. Materials and Methods: This systematic review was performed and written as stated in the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect and SciElo. In order to be considered eligible, within the entire search, only articles involving PhA and their utility in metabolic diseases were included. Results: PhA was associated with hyperuricemia and vitamin D deficiency in obese subjects, and decreased cardiovascular risk and malnutrition in hospitalized patients. Conclusion: PhA may be a potential screening tool in clinical practice to evaluate different biomarkers, cardiovascular risk, and nutritional diagnosis in metabolic diseases in adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20021608","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T03:40:34Z","timestamp":1673840434000},"page":"1608","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Phase Angle as a Potential Screening Tool in Adults with Metabolic Diseases in Clinical Practice: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3699-6589","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samantha","family":"Praget-Bracamontes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n de Enfermedades Metab\u00f3licas, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas y Nutrici\u00f3n Salvador Zubir\u00e1n, Mexico City 14080, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6860-720X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rogelio","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Arellanes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute for Obesity Research, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico City 64700, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8517-0241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos A.","family":"Aguilar-Salinas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n de Enfermedades Metab\u00f3licas, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas y Nutrici\u00f3n Salvador Zubir\u00e1n, Mexico City 14080, Mexico"},{"name":"Departamento de Endocrinolog\u00eda y Metabolismo, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas y Nutrici\u00f3n Salvador Zubir\u00e1n, Mexico City 14080, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandro J.","family":"Martag\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n de Enfermedades Metab\u00f3licas, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas y Nutrici\u00f3n Salvador Zubir\u00e1n, Mexico City 14080, Mexico"},{"name":"The Institute for Obesity Research, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico City 64700, Mexico"},{"name":"Escuela de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico City 64700, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2022, November 17).
