1 study

  1. Whole body water mass is associated with mortality in humans (Medium baseline whole body water mass with stable annual change).

    “The lowest mortality risk was observed among participants with medium and stable WBWM.”

  1. Whole body water mass is associated with cancer mortality in humans (High versus medium baseline whole body water mass) (7.5% higher hazard (95% CI 3.5%–11.6%)).

    “a less pronounced but positive association was observed between WBWM and cancer mortality when WBWM exceeded the sex-specific threshold.”

Medium, stable body water linked to lowest death risk

High starting body water mass was linked to an 8.7% higher death rate than medium levels over a median 13.7 years.High starting body water mass was linked to an 8.7% higher death rate than medium levels over a median 13.7 years.
