The adult male body is about 60% total body water content of some 42 litres (9.2 imp gal; 11 US gal). This is made up of about 19 litres (4.2 imp gal; 5.0 US gal) of extracellular fluid including about 3.2 litres (0.70 imp gal; 0.85 US gal) of blood plasma and about 8.4 litres (1.8 imp gal; 2.2 US gal) of interstitial fluid , and about 23 ...
Though variation is great among normal chronotypes, the average human adult's temperature reaches its minimum at about 5:00 a.m., about two hours before habitual wake time. Baehr et al. [ 91 ] found that, in young adults, the daily body temperature minimum occurred at about 04:00 (4 a.m.) for morning types, but at about 06:00 (6 a.m.) for ...
An adult body has 22–26 grams of magnesium, [15] [113] with 60% in the skeleton, 39% intracellular (20% in skeletal muscle), and 1% extracellular. [15] Serum levels are typically 0.7–1.0 mmol/L or 1.8–2.4 mEq /L. Serum magnesium levels may be normal even when intracellular magnesium is deficient.
Hypertension is slightly more frequent in men. [10] In people aged under 50 years, more men than women have hypertension, [10] and in ages above 50 years the prevalence of hypertension is the same in men and women. [10] In ages above 65 years, more women than men have hypertension. [7] Hypertension becomes more common with age. [5]
This is 0.5–1% of adults in the developed world with between 5 and 50 per 100,000 people newly developing the condition each year. [3] Onset is most frequent during middle age and women are affected 2.5 times as frequently as men. [1] It resulted in 38,000 deaths in 2013, up from 28,000 deaths in 1990. [11]
While typically there are few or no symptoms at first, near the end of this stage many people experience fever, weight loss, gastrointestinal problems and muscle pains. [1] Between 50% and 70% of people also develop persistent generalized lymphadenopathy , characterized by unexplained, non-painful enlargement of more than one group of lymph ...
Globally, men are more likely to be admitted to the ICU and more likely to die. [371] [372] One meta-analysis found that globally, men were more likely to get COVID‑19 than women; there were approximately 55 men and 45 women per 100 infections (CI: 51.43–56.58). [373]
