Predicting fat-free mass in children using bioimpedance analysis

Acta Diabetologica, 2003
Body composition assessment is a useful procedure for the study of nutritional status and water distribution. In adults, it is a predictor of morbidity and mortality, since body fatness is associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple, safe, and inexpensive method for assessment of body ...

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 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 ...

Fat-free mass in relation to stature: ratios of fat-free mass to height in children, adults, and elderly subjects

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1991
A cross-sectional relationship of fat-free mass to height expressed as a ratio (FFM:ht) is presented for 1103 people aged 6-86 y. Data are presented for 13 specific age groups by gender. By providing information for normal, healthy individuals, these data may be of comparative value for nutritionists and clinicians concerned with body composition 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

Prediction of resting energy expenditure from fat-free mass and fat mass

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992
On the basis of literature values, the relationship between fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), and resting energy expenditure [REE (kJ/24 h)] was determined for 213 adults (86 males, 127 females). The objectives were to develop a mathematical model to predict REE based on body composition and to evaluate the contribution of FFM and FM to REE.

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.

Dynamic assessment of fat-free mass during catabolism and recovery

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2000
Catabolism of fat-free mass affects both the quality of life and survival of patients. Because of variations in fluid status during acute illness, changes in body weight are difficult to evaluate and interpret during treatment. Nutritional assessment should therefore evaluate fat-free and fat mass changes during metabolic stress and catabolism. We have

Fat-free mass estimation by the two-electrode impedance method

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1990
In 202 healthy subjects (81 men, 121 women) aged 12-71 y, impedance (Z) was measured with a two-electrode analyzer. Fat-free mass was assessed by hydrodensitometry (FFMd). This population was randomized into two groups for cross-validation. In group 1 the relationship between ht2/Z at 1 MHz and FFMd was highly significant (r = 0.85, P less than 0.001).
