Key Points

Investigate age-associated changes in body composition, focusing on total body potassium, fat-free mass, and body cell mass in males and females aged 18 to 85 years.
Evaluated body composition parameters in male and female cohorts spanning 18 to 85 years of age.
Utilized total body potassium measurements to quantify fat-free mass and metabolically active cell mass across age groups.
Total body potassium and estimated cell mass demonstrate progressive age-related declines in both males and females.
Reductions in fat-free mass reflect shifting proportional tissue distribution and loss of active cellular compartments over the adult lifespan.
