Fat-free mass index and fat mass index percentiles in Caucasians aged 18–98 y

International Journal of Obesity, 2002
To determine reference values for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) in a large Caucasian group of apparently healthy subjects, as a function of age and gender and to develop percentile distribution for these two parameters.Cross-sectional study in which bioelectrical impedance analysis (50 kHz) was measured (using tetrapolar ...

Association between the combined fat mass and fat-free mass index and hypertension: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2021
Background A  higher body fat percentage is associated with hypertension, even in non-obese individuals. The difference in body composition may be related to hypertension. The fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) are proposed indicators of

Reference Norms for a Fat-free Mass Index and Fat Mass Index in the Japanese Child Population

Journal of Physiological Anthropology and Applied Human Science, 2003
The aims of this study were to determine reference norms for a fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) in a large population of healthy children in Japan, to observe differences in these values in three age groups between ages three and eleven, and to develop percentile distributions for these parameters.

Fat-free mass index: changes and race/ethnic differences in adulthood [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2010
Nutritional status is assessed by measuring BMI or percent body fat (%fat). BMI can misclassify persons who carry more weight as fat-free mass and %fat can be misleading in cases of malnutrition or in disease states characterized by wasting of lean tissue.

Body mass index and fat free mass index in obstructive lung disease in Korea

International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2014
To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), fat free mass index (FFMI) and obstructive lung disease in Korea.Based on a large population-based, nationwide survey conducted in Korea, 822 subjects with airway obstruction and the same number of healthy control subjects were selected.

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
