Normal distributions of mass and fluid compartments are associated with
immunity, high function, productivity, performance, and longevity. Maintaining healthy body weight appears to be a complex task involving
dozens of important lifestyle choices. Patients are bombarded with
competing messages about what to eat, how much to eat, which diet is the
right one, and the right exercise machine to buy.
In the end, however, the body's fat-free mass and body cell mass tell the
entire story. By focusing attention on these mass compartments individual lifestyle choices are less crucial per se, as long as fat-free mass
and body cell mass compartments are healthy.
