title: [Determination of the lean body mass in adult using the impedance method].
abstract: It deals with a new formula which gives the estimation of lean body mass (LBM) by the electric impedance measure at 1 MHz. According to the authors the weight of LBM is set up in two parts: the total water (TBW) conductive of electricity and an inert part (ILBM) which is a bad conductive one: the weight is an individual constant at the grown up. ILBM is calculated from simple morphological datums (H = height and C = wrist circonference). From which one concludes the formula: LBM = TBW + ILBM.
