%TBW varies as a function of body composition. The constant relationship between TBW and FFM (TBW = ∼0.73 × FFM in adults) explains why lean individuals have a higher %TBW than those who are overweight or obese, why men generally have a higher %TBW than women, and why %TBW tends to decrease with age.
