Left ventricular mass correlates with fat-free mass but not fat mass in adults

Journal of Hypertension, 1999
Left ventricular mass is associated with body size, obesity and blood pressure. Echocardiography is routinely used to estimate this parameter, which is usually indexed to body surface area to allow comparisons to be made between individuals and groups of different body size.

Fat-Free Mass Depletion and Inflammation in Patients with Bronchiectasis

Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2012
Fat-free mass depletion has been related to increased inflammatory activity and to increased morbidity and mortality in chronic respiratory diseases. The aims of our study were to determine the nutritional status and serum levels of adipocytokines and inflammatory cytokines in patients with bronchiectasis of any etiology and their relation with ...

Fat-free Mass Characteristics of Muscular Physique Athletes

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2019
ABSTRACTPurposeSimple body composition models, such as two-compartment models, use assumptions which may be violated in specific athletic populations (e.g., the constancy of fat-free mass density [DFFM] and hydration [TBW:FFM]). The present analysis examined FFM characteristics of muscular physique athletes.MethodsTwenty-six athletes (16 males: 94.5 ...

Fat-free mass and its predictors in Huntington’s disease

Journal of Neurology, 2015
The causes of weight loss in Huntington's disease (HD) are not entirely clear. The aim was to identify risk factors that are associated with a loss of metabolically active tissues, i.e. fat-free mass. A consecutive cohort of non-diabetic HD participants (manifest HD, n = 43; CAG: mean 43.6.0 ± 3.6; preHD, n = 10; CAG: mean 41.4 ± 1.4) and 36 healthy ...

Prediction of Fat-Free Mass in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, 2016
Background: Individualization of drug doses is essential in kidney transplant recipients. For many drugs, the individual dose is better predicted when using fat-free mass (FFM) as a scaling factor. Multiple equations have been developed to predict FFM based on healthy subjects.

Fat-Free Mass as a Function of Fat Mass and Habitual Activity Level

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1992
The best predictor of energy expenditure in man is the fat-free mass of the body. Fat-free mass explains most of the variation in resting metabolic rate and even in total metabolic rate under sedentary conditions. We studied possible determinants of fat-free mass as routes to influence energy metabolism.

Fat-free mass and fat mass in active boys during adolescence

American Journal of Human Biology, 1997
Longitudinal body composition data were examined in 24 active and 10 control boys between the ages of 12.3 and 15.3 years. The main objectives were (1) to contrast the distance and velocity curves of fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) in active and control groups using chronological and maturity bases, and (2) to compare the timing and magnitude of ...

The relationship between body fat mass and fat-free mass.

Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 1991
It has been suggested that there is a curvilinear relationship between lean body or fat-free mass and body fat mass. In order to confirm this relationship, body composition was measured by determining body density and total body water using deuterium-labeled water in subjects varying widely in body fat mass. There were 29 males and 75 females with body

Energy expenditure and fat-free mass in men and women

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1981
Energy expenditure was measured by direct calorimetry in 15 men and women aged 22 to 55. There were fifty-nine 24-h measurements under quiet, not basal, conditions of sedentary activity with 8 h of sleep at night, regular meals, and food intake adjusted to match individual expenditures.

Fat-free mass as a determinant of left ventricular mass in children: The Muscatine Study

American Journal of Human Biology, 1996
To assess the relationship of somatic growth to heart growth, associations were examined among body composition, blood pressure, androgens, sexual maturation, and left ventricular mass (LVM) during early puberty in 123 children, 7-12 years of age. All subjects underwent anthropometry, random-zero blood pressure measurements, hormone determination of ...
