Determinant | Mean Magnitude of Determinant |
Variation Range of Determinant |
Influence on BCM/FFM Value |
---|---|---|---|
a | 0.70 | 0.69–0.71 | 0.548–0.541 |
b | 0.98 | 0.97–0.99 | 0.542–0.546 |
c | 0.14 | 0.12–0.16 | 0.552–0.537 |
E/I | 0.91 | 0.54–1.40 | 0.651–0.447 |
E/I, ratio of extracellular water (ECW) to intracellular water (ICW) (ECW/ICW); a, fraction of body cell mass (BCM) as water (ICW/BCM); b, fraction of extracellular fluid as water (ECW/ECF); c, ratio of extracellular solids to total body water (ECS/TBW); FFM, fat-free mass. The influence of each determinant on BCM/FFM value can be estimated if a determinant takes its extreme values and the other 3 determinants take their mean values.
