Respuesta :

Answer:

A, C, D, E

Explanation:

  • In childhood, TBW gradually decreases from 60% to 65% of body weight. During adolescence, the percentage of TBW reaches the adult ratio and gender differences begin to appear.
  • Men eventually have a greater percentage of body water as a function of muscle growth. As a function of estrogen women have more body fat and less muscle and therefore less body water. With increasing age, the percentage of TBW decreases further.
  • Deficiency is due to the ability to reduce fat and reduced muscle mass, as well as the sodium and water balance.
