Infants: 80% of body mass is water
How does being Obese affect Total Body Water
Carry less water since they have more adipocytes which have a low water content

Females have less water
Components of Total Body Water
60:40:20:5 Rule

What happens to a substance when it is albumin bound?
It cannot be filtered, it is excreted through tubular secretion
