Potassium Content in the Body
Potassium Content in the Body: The total body potassium content is dependent on sex, age, and, most importantly, muscle mass (which contains 60-75% of total body potassium), and is approximately 40-45, and 50-55 mmol per kilogram of body weight for normal adult women and men, respectively. These values decrease with age and are 20% less in the elderly because of a decrease in muscle mass.
