A. Reference ranges are available for overhydration (OH), lean tissue index (LTI), fat tissue index (FTI) and E/I ratio. The reference ranges are defined by a reference population of 1000 healthy subjects between 18 and 75 years with a BMI between 18 – 32 kg/m2.The reference ranges are defined by the 10th and 90th percentiles of the reference population and are specific to age and gender. These ranges simplify identification of abnormal conditions by comparing a patient’s data to the reference population.
