Limitations of Fat-Free Mass for the Assessment of Muscle Mass in Obesity [PDF]
Obesity Facts, 2019 <b><i>Background:</i></b> A high amount of adipose tissue limits the accuracy of methods for body composition analysis in obesity. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aim was to quantify and explain differences in fat-free mass (FFM) (as an index of skeletal muscle mass, SMM) measured with bioelectrical ...

Serum Creatinine and Fat-free Mass (Lean Body Mass) [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2000 Serum creatinine is widely used as an index of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (1). However, it is not a sensitive index because GFR may have to decrease by >50% before serum creatinine becomes “abnormal”, and this may be at least partly attributable to the wide reference interval for serum creatinine (44–124 μmol/L).
