2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2017 - "Anthropometry was measured and BCM was calculated from whole body potassium-40 counting in 259 children being treated for clinical conditions (n = 66 cancer; n = 59 AN; n = 75 CF; n = 59 CD) and 108 healthy children. " 08/01/2001 - "Cancer patients and controls were compared on the basis of: (1) unadjusted REE, as measured by indirect calorimetry; (2) REE adjusted for lean body mass, as measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry; (3) REE adjusted for body cell mass, as measured by potassium-40 measurement; and (4) REE adjusted for total body water, as measured by tritiated water dilution. " 05/01/1987 - "We used a sensitive whole body counter which measures potassium-40 (40K) to determine total body potassium and to estimate body cell mass (BCM) in 104 previously untreated patients with upper gastrointestinal malignancies, 233 normal volunteers, and 18 patients with anorexia nervosa. " 01/01/2016 - "The RESidual RADioactivity (RESRAD) OFFSITE modeling program (version 3.1) was then used to estimate the radiation doses and the cancer morbidity risk of uranium-238 ((238)U), thorium-232 ((232)Th), and potassium-40 ((40)K) for a hypothetical resident scenario. "
3.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 12/01/1992 - "Measures of body composition consisted of fat estimated from triceps, subscapsular and calf skinfolds, and fat-free body weight estimated from potassium-40 measurements. " 11/01/1984 - "From the potassium-40 values, the body weight, and the height of 4112 girls and women aged 8 to 65 years, we derive an association between menstruation and body cell mass/surface area quotient. "
4.	Weight Gain 12/01/1984 - "There was no significant difference between the two diets for elemental metabolic balance, changes in anthropometric measures, in weight gain, or in potassium-40 counts; nor was there any difference in the energy cost of weight gain, in the rise in basal metabolic rate, or the change in hematocrit, serum albumin, or cholesterol. "
5.	Anorexia Nervosa 05/01/1987 - "We used a sensitive whole body counter which measures potassium-40 (40K) to determine total body potassium and to estimate body cell mass (BCM) in 104 previously untreated patients with upper gastrointestinal malignancies, 233 normal volunteers, and 18 patients with anorexia nervosa.
