Figure 3From: A reference frame for blood volume in children and adolescents Correlation between blood volume and lean body mass in relation to the adult references. Blood volume (ml) plotted against LBM (kg) for the different pubertal stages for girls (Tanner stage 1: ●, 2 – 4: ▼, 5: ■) and boys (Tanner stage 1: ○, 2 – 4: ▽, 5: □). The dashed lines identify the range (twice the standard deviation) obtained in the adult population (47 M/40 F, aged 19–72 years) [7].Back to article page
