Several indirect prediction equations to estimate total body water (TBW) with simple demographic and anthropometric data are commonly used by researchers and dialysis units. These equations are largely based on observations in subjects of the Western hemisphere. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible application of anthropometry-based TBW equations to a Korean adult control population and maintenance haemodialysis (HD) patients using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as reference.
