C is a coefficient for the expected percentage of weight made up of free water. For adult, non-elderly males, C = 0.6. For adult elderly males, malnourished males, or females, C = 0.5. For adult elderly or malnourished females, C = 0.45. A total body water deficit (TBWD) can then be approximated by the following formula:
A lean 70 kg (150 lb) man, for example, has about 42 (42–47) liters of water in his body. The total body of water is divided into fluid compartments, [1] between the intracellular fluid compartment (also called space, or volume) and the extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment (space, volume) in a two-to-one ratio: 28 (28–32) liters are inside ...
Upper limit of normal QT interval, corrected for heart rate according to Bazett's formula, [5] Fridericia's formula, [10] and subtracting 0.02 s from QT for every 10 bpm increase in heart rate. [13] Up to 0.42 s (≤ 420 ms) is chosen as normal QTc of QT B and QT F in this diagram. [14]
Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...
Total body water in healthy adults is about 50–60% (range 45 to 75%) of total body weight; [1] women and the obese typically have a lower percentage than lean men. [2] Extracellular fluid makes up about one-third of body fluid, the remaining two-thirds is intracellular fluid within cells. [3]

A wide variety of body composition measurement methods exist. The gold standard measurement technique for the 4-compartment model consists of a weight measurement, body density measurement using hydrostatic weighing or air displacement plethysmography, total body water calculation using isotope dilution analysis, and mineral content measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).

On top of its beefy initial price, you have to pay another $500 for accessories and sign up for a 12-month membership to the Tonal service (another $60 a month).
