Notes and interpretation

This section of my Web site contains tables of biophysical and medical measurements that I collated during the time I worked in that field. I present them here in the hope that they may be useful to other researchers. As always, I have done my best to make sure that everything is accurate, but I won't accept any responsibility for adverse consequences that may arise if not. In addition, please note the following points.

The data are drawn from a variety of sources which I believe to be authoratative. However, I can't be absolutely certain that this is that case.
All values are averages or typical figures for an adult. Unless otherwise stated, they are for an adult subject, either male or female. Where there is a significant difference between male and female values, the text should indicate this.
Because Web browsers don't always render non-English characters in a predictable way, I have used the letter `u' as an abbreviation for `micro' throughout, where the Greek `mu' would be more strictly accurate.
