“…Second, the measure of total body potassium provides the best index for body cell mass (28) and therefore in the FFM. In fact chemical analyses have shown that potassium is essentially an intracellular cation that is not present in stored triglycerides.…”

“…The term quality of the body-cell mass has been coined to describe correlates between body-cell mass with measurements of function and functional reserve. 23 Another term muscle quality has been coined to describe ankle muscle strength per unit calf muscle cross sectional area, assessed by quantitative computed tomography, to describe the reduced ankle strength in diabetics receiving pharmacotherapy compared with nondiabetics. 24 There are parallels with mental function: fat-free mass can be within the normal range despite the presence of major abnormalities in mental function induced by nutrient-specific malnutrition, such as thiamine or B 12 deficiencies.…”

Although malnutrition is a common health and social care problem, there is no universal agreement about its definition, prevalence, or method of identification and report. Fifteen definitions of malnutrition were critically examined to assess their variability. They ranged from descriptions of undernutrition alone to under- and overnutrition, with intakes ranging from dietary protein and energy alone to dietary and nondietary sources of all nutrients and energy. Definitions also varied from non-outcome based to those based on functional, physiological, and/or clinical outcomes. Some definitions relied on the pathways by which malnutrition develops, with one apparently requiring loss of fat-free mass. Also examined were nutrition screening tools, diversely developed for detection of malnutrition, management of malnutrition, and prediction of clinical outcomes or health care usage. Their intended use also varied from specific care settings (hospital, community, care homes) to all settings and from specific age groups to all age groups. With all these definitions and tools, there is considerable scope for confusion and misunderstanding. Therefore, to clarify the burden and significance of malnutrition, guidelines for documenting it in routine practice and reporting it in scientific literature are provided.

Potassium spectra with low counting statistics were measured with a NaI detector from a water phantom, simulating a brain, and were analyzed for error propagation in determination of K employing either the Trapezoidal Method or the Library Least-Squares method. We demonstrate, using measured and synthetic spectra, that a smaller error is obtained in the analysis of potassium when using the Library Least-Squares method.
