Body-composing constituents and their explanation and function [
43].
| Body-composing constituents | Explanation and function |
| Intracellular water (ICW) | Body water which exists inside of cell membrane |
| Extracellular water (ECW) | Body water that exists outside of cell membrane (blood, interstitial fluid, etc.) |
| Body water | The sum of intracellular and extracellular water |
| Protein | Main element which composes soft lean mass together with water |
| Soft lean mass (SLM) | Skeletal muscle and smooth muscle Maintaining body function |
| Minerals | Composing bones and electrolytes |
| Lean body mass (LBM) | Composed with soft lean mass and minerals The amount of body weight minus body fat mass |
| Body fat | The amount of body weight minus lean body mass |
| Weight | The sum of lean body mass and body fat mass. Standard weight (kg): adult male height (m) × height (m) × 22 female height (m) × height (m) × 22 |
