TL;DR: Two new equations for determination of ECW and ICW based on Hanai mixture theory but corrected for body mass index are presented, suggesting BCS may be an appropriate method for body fluid volume determination over a wide range of body compositions in different states of health and disease.

TL;DR: A model to determine fixed hydration constants of primary body tissues enabling ExF to be calculated from whole-body measurements of weight, intracellular water (ICWWB), and extracellularWater (ECWWB) is developed.

TL;DR: At the population level, measurement of body FM has no advantage over BMI and WC in the prediction of obesity-related metabolic risk, and measures of central adiposity (WC, WC/ht) tended to show closer associations with risk factors than measures of general adiposity, suggesting an equivalent value of methods.

TL;DR: Differences in slopes and intercepts of the regression lines between REE and FFM depended on the methods used for body composition analysis, which imply a population- and/or investigator specificity of algorithms for REE prediction.

TL;DR: A common genetic background contributes to the clustering of different MSX component traits and central obesity or insulin resistance, and MSX phenotype was found to be highly variable, comprising 16 subtypes of component trait combinations.
