Nutritional Strategies for the Preservation of Fat Free Mass at High Altitude [PDF]
Nutrients, 2014 Exposure to extreme altitude presents many physiological challenges. In addition to impaired physical and cognitive function, energy imbalance invariably occurs resulting in weight loss and body composition changes. Weight loss, and in particular, loss of fat free mass, combined with the inherent risks associated with extreme environments presents ...

Relations of Left Ventricular Mass to Fat-Free and Adipose Body Mass [PDF]
Circulation, 1999 Background—It is unclear whether increased left ventricular (LV) mass in overweight individuals is related to their adiposity or to greater fat-free mass (FFM). Methods and Results—We compared echocardiographic LV mass to FFM and adipose body mass by bioelectric impedance and to anthropometric measurements in 3107 American Indian participants in the ...
