Muscularity and the density of the fat-free mass in athletes

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2001
The purpose of this study was to use estimates of body composition from a four-component model to determine whether the density of the fat-free mass (DFFM) is affected by muscularity or musculoskeletal development in a heterogenous group of athletes and nonathletes.

Fat-free mass in relation to stature: ratios of fat-free mass to height in children, adults, and elderly subjects

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1991
A cross-sectional relationship of fat-free mass to height expressed as a ratio (FFM:ht) is presented for 1103 people aged 6-86 y. Data are presented for 13 specific age groups by gender. By providing information for normal, healthy individuals, these data may be of comparative value for nutritionists and clinicians concerned with body composition of ...

Comparison of fat-free mass and body fat in Swiss and American adults

Nutrition, 2005
No current studies have compared North American with European body composition parameters, i.e., fat-free mass (FFM), body fat (BF), and percentage of BF (%BF) in large populations. This study compared FFM, BF, and %BF values derived from two bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equations (Geneva and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ...

Adjustment of fat-free mass and fat mass for height in children aged 8 y

International Journal of Obesity, 2002
To explore the relationships between height and (a) fat-free mass (FFM) and (b) fat mass (FM) in children in order to determine the optimum means of adjusting body composition for height.Cross-sectional study.Sixty-nine children aged 8 y.Weight and height (HT) were measured, and total body water by deuterium dilution for estimation of fat-free mass and

Changes in fat mass and fat-free mass during the adiposity rebound: FLAME study

International Journal of Pediatric Obesity, 2011
To determine the changes in body composition from 3 to 7 years of age in children undergoing adiposity rebound (AR) at different ages.Body composition was measured bi-annually by bioelectrical impedance in 229 children from a birth cohort. Age at AR was calculated from changes in weight and height velocity over time. Early AR was defined as < 6.1 years

Factors that alter body fat, body mass, and fat-free mass in pediatric obesity

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2002
The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of exercise treatment programs on changes in body mass, fat-free mass, and body fat in obese children and adolescents.By using the meta-analytic approach, studies that met the following criteria were included in our analyses: 1) at least six subjects per group; 2) subject groups consisting of ...

Reexamination of the relationship of resting metabolic rate to fat-free mass and to the metabolically active components of fat-free mass in humans

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992
The ratio of resting metabolic rate (RMR) to fat-free mass (FFM) is often used to compare individuals of different body sizes. Because RMR has not been well described over the full range of FFM, a literature review was conducted among groups with a wide range of FFM.

Fat and fat-free mass in Nepalese children: an assessment of nutritional status

European Journal of Pediatrics, 2009
The aims of the present study were to determine the body composition and to assess the nutritional status on the basis of body composition parameters in Nepalese children. Body fat percentage (BF%), fat mass (FM), and fat-free mass (FFM) of 1,988 (1,016 boys and 972 girls) Nepalese children aged 6 to 10 years were calculated from triceps and ...

Adjusting for Fat-Free Mass in Metabolic Studies

Hormone and Metabolic Research, 2002
in a recent publication, Eriksson et al. [1] explored the relationship between size at birth and resting metabolic rate and body composition in adulthood in a cohort of over 300 men and women. They reported an unexpected finding that people of both sexes who had a low birth weight also had a higher metabolic activity per unit muscle tissue.
