Fat Free Mass and Fat Free Mass Index as Reference Variables for Expiratory and Inspiratory Flow Rates [PDF]

IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR), 2013
Flow rates are very important factors which affect the volume and speed at which air is moved into and out of lung. Body Mass Index and Waist Hip ratio are the most commonly used parameters nowadays to assess obesity and the diseases associated with it. But both the parameters have the limitation of not distinguishing between fat compartment and muscle

Sexual Dimorphism of the Fat Mass Index and the Fat-Free Mass Index in Healthy Adolescents

, 2023
Body mass index (BMI) does not allow to discriminate the composition of the different body compartments. This study points to the formulation of reference values of fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) in healthy adolescents by means of anthropometric techniques, and the subsequent availability in clinical practice as reference charts ...

Fat-free mass index in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021
Abstract Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a public health problem because it is a major cause of death in the world. Approximately 25% of patients with moderate disease and 35% with severe disease show a reduced fat-free mass (FFM). Thus, the objective of this study is to define the correlation between fat-free mass index (
