Hydrostatic weighing and chemical dilution are well accepted methods for measuring body composition. Recently, Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) has become the preferred method. The two compartment algorithms used by these methods assume a fixed constant for lean body tissue. This constant has long been suspect of variations due to many reasons such as ethnic or racial differences, age, health, etc. Variations in muscle mass, however, are factors that affect every single subject. The study presented here includes muscle mass as one compartment of a three compartment body composition model. Each compartment is modeled as a function of body water measurements with ...
