Effect of fat mass index, fat free mass index and body mass index on childhood blood pressure: a cross-sectional study in south China. [PDF]
Evidence on how different body composition indexes, such as body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI) and fat free mass index (FFMI), influence blood pressure (BP) in Chinese children and adolescents is sparse. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of different body composition on BP in participants aged 7-18 in south China.A cross-sectional ...

Chest computed tomography-derived low fat-free mass index and mortality in COPD. [PDF]
Low fat-free mass index (FFMI) is an independent risk factor for mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) not typically measured during routine care. In the present study, we aimed to derive fat-free mass from the pectoralis muscle area (FFMPMA) and assess whether low FFMIPMAis associated with all-cause mortality in COPD cases. We used

Prognostic value of the fat-free mass index-based cachexia index in patients with colorectal cancer. [PDF]
Studies have shown that the cachexia index (CXI) is a useful predictor of cachexia in patients with colorectal cancer. However, the application of the CXI is limited stemming from the intricacy and additional cost of radiographic examinations. This study aimed to develop an easy-to-use and practical CXI based on fat-free mass index (FFMI-CXI) to ...

Fat-Free Mass Index in a Large Sample of Collegiate American Football Athletes. [PDF]
High levels of fat-free mass (FFM) are favorable for athletes and are related to sport performance. However, fat-free mass index (FFMI), which includes adjustments for height, may offer a better way to characterize FFM beyond raw values. As FFMI is understudied relative to sport, the purpose of the current study was to assess position and age group ...
