Abstract

Water is an essential component of living organisms, and in adult mammals the fraction of fat-free body mass (FFM) as water is remarkably stable at approximately 0.73. The stability of FFM hydration is a cornerstone of the widely used water isotope dilution method of estimating total body fat.
