All values are mean (standard deviation); FM fat mass, %FM percent fat mass, TBW total body water, %TBW percent total body water, 2C-PP two-compartment model with PEA POD, 2C-DD two-compartment model with deuterium dilution technique, 3C three-compartment model, no significant differences in FFM, FM or %FM between the methods (p > 0.6 for all).
