A substantial proportion of total body potassium (TBK) in humans is found in skeletal muscle (SM), thus affording a means of predicting total-body SM from whole-body counter-measured (40)K. There are now > 30 whole-body counters worldwide that have large cross-sectional and longitudinal TBK databases.
