Prognostic value of the fat-free mass index-based cachexia index in patients with colorectal cancer. [PDF]

Sci Rep
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]

Int J Exerc Sci
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 ...

Chest computed tomography-derived low fat-free mass index and mortality in COPD. [PDF]

Eur Respir J, 2017
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

Predicting fat-free mass index and sarcopenia in assisted-living older adults. [PDF]

Age (Dordr), 2014
Age-related muscle loss, termed sarcopenia, has been linked to functional deficits and an increased risk of falling. Such risk is of alarming concern due to the high disability and mortality rates associated with falling in older adults. Our laboratory recently developed a prediction model for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and, subsequently, sarcopenia ...

Body mass index percentiles versus body composition assessments: Challenges for disease risk classifications in children

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
BackgroundIdentifying at-risk children with optimal specificity and sensitivity to allow for the appropriate intervention strategies to be implemented is crucial to improving the health and well-being of children. We determined relationships of body mass

Comparison of fat-free mass index and fat mass index in Chinese adults [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2012
To compare the characteristics of body composition for different gender and age in a large number of apparently healthy Chinese subjects, and to determine reference values for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI).In total, 61,382 Chinese adults (age range: 18-92 years) were consecutively enrolled into the study.
