Talk:Body water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
isn't there any other way of calculating total body water
[edit] Suggestion for rephrasing in lead
Currently the first two sentences are "A significant fraction of the human body is water. This body water is distributed in different compartments in the body." I would recommend converting this to a more standard lead structure, such as:
- In medicine, body water refers to all the water in the human body, whether in the tissues and fats, the blood, or the bones. Body water makes up a significant fraction of the human body by weight, estimated at X% ...
Adjust of course as necessary but I think bringing the lead more in line with the standard is a good idea. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
