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].
