dividing the human body in its two major component masses:
• leanbodymass:bones,muscles,viscera,water,organs,blood;
• fatbodymass:adiposecells.
Under the same conditions of weight, these two masses have different volumes.

The
mass opposes a weak resistance, while the fat body mass has a greater resistance.

Obese people have a lower body water percentage than lean people.
Refer to this data to compare the obtained percentage.
Water accomplishes many biological functions:
- it promotes the digestive processes;
- it is a thinner for substances that are important for the organism;
- it removes metabolic wastes;
- it carries oxygen, nutrients, enzymes, hormones and glucose to the cells;
- it is a source of mineral salts;
- it regulates the body temperature.

not eating for 12 hours, after at least
20°C. The basal metabolic rate for the adults ranges between 1200 and 1800 kcal.
The BMR is influenced by various factors:
• age: it is higher when one is young; with the increase of age, the muscular mass decreases and
consequently the BMR, too.
• gender: the BMR is greater in men due to the testosterone and of the greater muscular mass.
• height: the BMR is greater in tall and slim people.
• body
increase of the fat mass involves a decrease of the BMR.
• fever/stress: the BMR increases in case of stress or of fever.
• nutrition state:
diets increase the BMR.
• climate: with very high or very low environment temperatures, the BMR increases.
• thyroxin: thyroxin is a hormone produced by the
that of adjusting the metabolism intensity. More thyroxin is produced and greater is the BMR.
