Total body water volumes for adult males and females estimated from simple anthropometric measurements
PE Watson, ID Watson, RD Batt - The American journal of clinical nutrition, 1980 - Elsevier
Individual total body water volumes for 458 adult males and 265 adult females obtained from
dilution studies, together with their height, weight, and age have been selected from the
literature. These values were used to derive total body water prediction equations for adults
of any age. The equations that gave the best fit were for males: total body water= 2.447−
0.09516 A+ 0.1074 height+ 0.3362 weight (liters)(yr)(cm)(kg)(SD: 3.76, r 2: 70.4%) and for
females: total body water=− 2.097+ 0.1069 height+ 0.2466 weight (liters)(cm)(kg)(SD: 3.60, r …
