✦ Synopsis

Prediction equations €or total body water (TBW) generally use weight and height as predictors, but their ability may be limited because they implicitly assume a constancy of TBW among individuals of similar body size. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative importance of anthropometric dimensions in predicting TBW and body composition. TBW determined by doubly labeled water (DLW) dilution techniques was used as the frame of reference in 23 healthy Aymara subjects, P 6 5 years, in a rural community of the Bolivian Andes. Predictive performances of anthropometric

Body composition data estimated for normal young, normal adult, and adult obese Wistar rats by a tritiated water (THO) dilution procedure (b. wt. range 119-237 g, n=31; 305-597 g, n=43; 274-381 g, n=6) were compared with the results of whole body analysis. As for the predicted total body lipid FBL)
