Estimated lean body mass as an index for normalization of body fluid volumes in humans
Abstract
Blood volume was measured in 66 healthy subjects (38 males, 28 females), and extracellular fluid volume in 54 subjects (31 males, 23 females). Volumes were normalized against body weight, height, body surface area, leanness index, and lean body mass (estimated from body weight and height). The regression lines of body fluid volumes against lean body mass passed through the origin on extrapolation and were not different for males and females. None of the other indices fulfilled these criteria. It is concluded that estimated lean body mass is a suitable index for normalization of body fluid volumes. A single set of normal reference values can be used for males and females.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
