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 ...

Dietary determinants of changes in waist circumference adjusted for body mass index - a proxy measure of visceral adiposity [PDF]

, 2010
Background Given the recognized health effects of visceral fat, the understanding of how diet can modulate changes in the phenotype “waist circumference for a given body mass index (WCBMI)”, a proxy measure of visceral adiposity, is deemed necessary ...

Causal associations between body fat accumulation and COVID-19 severity: A Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Previous studies reported associations between obesity measured by body mass index (BMI) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, BMI is calculated only with height and weight and cannot distinguish between body fat mass and fat-free mass. Thus,
