The intracellular fluid compartment is smaller than commonly believed when measured by whole-body bioimpedance

To report our data on the total body water (TBW), intracellular volume (ICV), extracellular volume (ECV), and fat-free mass (FFM) from studies using whole-body bioimpedance (BIA) with the aim of contrasting them to commonly cited reference values.Data were retrospectively retrieved from three single-center studies of adult healthy male volunteers and one study of women scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy where multifrequency BIA had been...
