Abstract
A method for use in determining fluid levels within a subject, the method including, in a processing device, determining at least one impedance value measured for the subject, determining physical dimensions for at least part of at least one segment of the subject, using the physical dimensions to determine a shape factor at least partially indicative of a shape of the at least one segment and calculating a fluid indicator indicative of the fluid levels in the segment at least in part using the at least one impedance value and the shape factor.
