Body mass index as an estimate of body fat
International Journal of Eating Disorders, 1995Body mass index (BMI) was compared with percentage body fat (%Fat) measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 233 adolescent schoolgirl volunteers and 179 adult female patients. Repeat measurements were made on 67 of the adolescents and 51 of the adults.

Reassessment of body mass indices
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1990The accuracy of body mass indices (BMIs), such as Quetelet's index, for the definition of obesity was investigated in a large sample of healthy humans. Two hundred thirteen women and 150 men with a wide spectrum of weights, heights, and ages underwent densitometric analysis for the determination of percent body fat (%BF).

It has been suggested that there is a connection between depression and an increased body mass index (BMI). As depression is related to suicide, a South Australian cohort study was performed to test whether a high BMI may also characterize victims of suicide. Body mass indexes from 100 consecutive cases of suicide (male-to-female ratio, 1:1) taken from

Expansile mass of the body of the mandible
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1992In March 198 1, a 42-year-old white man was referred for evaluation of a swelling of the right mandibular vestibule (Fig I). Except for a slight tingling of the lower lip, there were no other symptoms. The swelling was hard, with no apparent crepitation noted on palpation, and was covered by intact mucosa.

Body Mass in Comparative Primatology
Journal of Human Evolution, 1997Data are presented on adult body mass for 230 of 249 primate species, based on a review of the literature and previously unpublished data. The issues involved in collecting data on adult body mass are discussed, including the definition of adults, the effects of habitat and pregnancy, the strategy for pooling data on single species from multiple ...

Crisis, 2007
Abstract. Body mass has been neglected as a possible predictor of suicidal behavior. The present investigation explores the association between body mass index and completed suicide. Data are from the National Mortality Followback Survey and refer to 373 suicides, and 518 deaths from motor vehicle accidents as controls.

Abstract The estimation of overall body length (or stature) and lean body mass from the skeletal remains of Pleistocene humans normally involves several steps of estimation, in which any errors might be (but are not necessarily) com- pounded.

Clozapine and body mass change
Biological Psychiatry, 1998Patients treated with clozapine have been reported to gain weight. We hypothesized that patients would also experience an increase in body mass, which can be more directly related to cardiovascular morbidity.Forty-two patients who had been treated with clozapine for at least 1 year were weighed and measured, and waist-hip ratios (WHR) and body mass ...

Body mass index as a measure of bone mass.
The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness, 2010BMI is an indicator of body composition (BC) and adiposity in particular. This status is the result of good correlations with indirect (e.g. predictive) two- and three-component models predicting body fat. Aim of the study is to measure the direct relation of BMI with total and segmental BC, e.g.
