Parental fat‐free mass is related to the fat‐free mass of infants and maternal fat mass is related to the fat mass of infant girls

Acta Paediatrica, 2015
AbstractAimExisting studies suggest that weight and body composition of parents influence the size and body composition of their offspring, but are often inconclusive and conducted by means of inappropriate body composition methodology. Our aim was to study infant size and body composition variables in relation to body composition variables of their ...

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 ...

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 ...

The relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and indices of fat mass and fat-free mass in adults. [PDF]

Front Sports Act Living
PurposeCardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) independently predicts cardiovascular disease risk and mortality. In addition, body composition levels characterized by excess adiposity (fat mass) and low levels of fat-free mass (FFM) are strongly associated with poor health status.

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,

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 ...
