Best Answer

Blood volume is normally considered to be 65 mls per Kilogram for women and 75 mls per kilogram for men. Therefore the larger an individual is the higher the circulating blood volume. This is logical because, larger individuals have more body tissue (especially fat) and therefore require more blood to circulate, anmd provide oxygen and nutrients
