ESTIMATION OF TOTAL BODY FAT FROM POTASSIUM-40 CONTENT
Journal Article

· Science See Saiensu
On the assumption that the potassium content of the lean body mass is constant, it should be possible to estimate fat content in living man from a measurement of potassium-40 activity in the whole-body scintillation counter. A series of such measurements on children and young adults shows good correlations with skin-fold thickness and weight/height ratio as indices of fatness. (auth)
