| Popis: | Variability associated with the effects of gender, race, maturation (ML), and age on the potassium content of the fat-free body (K/FFB) was investigated in 163 males and 112 females ages 8 to 30 years. Measures of body density (hydrostatic weighing), bone mineral content (single photon absorptiometry), total body water (modified deuterium dilution), and whole body potassium (40K spectroscopy) were obtained. FFB was calculated using a multicomponent equation which accounted for the variability in FFB mineral and water content. Subjects were classified by maturation as prepubescent, pubescent, postpubescent, and adult (Tanner stages). Least-squares multiple regression analysis revealed significant (p |
