Biological determinants of phase angle. Phase angle is the angle of the vector formed by the body's reactance (XC) and resistance (R). XC (a property of cell membranes) is determined by both lean body mass and hydration status, whereas R is principally determined by the quantity of intracellular and extracellular water found in the body.
