Fat‐Free Mass: Friend or Foe to Metabolic Health? [PDF]
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and MuscleBackground Fat mass (FM) and fat‐free mass (FFM) are body composition estimates commonly reported in research studies and clinical settings. Recently, fat‐free mass indexed to height (fat‐free mass index; FFMI) has been shown to be positively associated ...

Acta Paediatrica, 2015 AbstractAimExisting studies suggest that weight and body composition of parents influence the size and body composition of their offspring, but are often inconclusive and conducted by means of inappropriate body composition methodology. Our aim was to study infant size and body composition variables in relation to body composition variables of their ...

Ratio of fat-free mass to fat mass is associated with physical performance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Frontiers in EndocrinologyBackgroundThe ratio of fat-free mass (FFM) to fat mass (FM) is a key indicator of body composition. Evidence suggests that the FFM/FM ratio is more reliable than body mass index in predicting functional outcomes in older adults with prefrailty ...

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Previous studies reported associations between obesity measured by body mass index (BMI) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, BMI is calculated only with height and weight and cannot distinguish between body fat mass and fat-free mass. Thus,

Measurement of Fat-Free Mass in Infants [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1995 Body composition data are important for adequate monitoring of growth and nutritional status in infants. 18O Isotope dilution techniques (ID18-O) are widely used to estimate total body water (TBW) and calculate fat-free mass (FFM). A problem of isotope dilution is an underestimation of TBW by the extrapolation to t = O approach and an overestimation of
