Ratio of fat-free mass to fat mass is associated with physical performance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundThe ratio of fat-free mass (FFM) to fat mass (FM) is a key indicator of body composition. Evidence suggests that the FFM/FM ratio is more reliable than body mass index in predicting functional outcomes in older adults with prefrailty ...

New fat free mass - fat mass model for use in physiological energy balance equations [PDF]

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2010
Background The Forbes equation relating fat-free mass (FFM) to fat mass (FM) has been used to predict longitudinal changes in FFM during weight change but has important limitations when paired with a one dimensional energy balance differential equation ...

Relationship of fat mass index and fat free mass index with body mass index and association with sleeping patterns and physical activity in Saudi young adults women [PDF]

Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition
Aim To analyze the association between Fat Mass Index (FMI), Free Fat Mass Index (FFMI), Free Fat Mass/Fat Mass (FFM/FM), and Body Mass Index (BMI) among young adult Saudi women and to explore how these body composition indices are associated with sleep ...

Fat–fat-free index in body mass assessment in young people

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The study aimed to personalize the classification of body weight using the fat–fat-free (FFF) index with the percentage of body fat and to develop classification standards for the FFF index for men aged 18–25 years.

Fat‐Free Mass: Friend or Foe to Metabolic Health? [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Fat mass (FM) and fat‐free mass (FFM) are body composition estimates commonly reported in research studies and clinical settings. Recently, fat‐free mass indexed to height (fat‐free mass index; FFMI) has been shown to be positively associated ...

Associations of the fat-free mass index and the fat mass index with the risk of developing diabetes and prediabetes in US adults: a nationally representative cross-sectional study [PDF]

Lipids in Health and Disease
Background Obesity and overweight, as determined by the body mass index (BMI), are harmful to metabolic health. However, the BMI can not reflect body composition or fat distribution. The fat-free mass index (FFMI) and the fat mass index (FMI) can provide

Association between fat mass index, fat‐free mass index and hemoglobin A1c in a Japanese population: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Community‐based Cohort Study

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2022
Aims/Introduction Fat mass and fat‐free mass affect glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and blood glucose levels, respectively. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the fat mass index and fat‐free mass index with HbA1c ...

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,

Body Fat and Fat‐Free Mass and All‐Cause Mortality [PDF]

Obesity Research, 2004
AbstractObjective: To investigate whether the association between BMI and all‐cause mortality could be disentangled into opposite effects of body fat and fat‐free mass (FFM).Research Methods and Procedures: All‐cause mortality was studied in the Danish follow‐up study “Diet, Cancer and Health” with 27, 178 men and 29, 875 women 50 to 64 years old ...
