Prognostic potential of body composition indices in detecting risk of musculoskeletal injury in army officer cadet profiles. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: High values in most of the body composition indices have been related to musculoskeletal injuries, but limited data exists on the accuracy of these diagnoses when detecting musculoskeletal injuries in military populations.

Relationships among fat mass, fat-free mass and height in adults: A new method of statistical analysis applied to NHANES data [PDF]
Objectives: The positive influence of fat mass (FM) on fat-free mass (FFM) has been quantified previously by various methods involving regression analysis of population data, but some are fundamentally flawed through neglect of the tendency of taller

Limitations of Fat-Free Mass for the Assessment of Muscle Mass in Obesity [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> A high amount of adipose tissue limits the accuracy of methods for body composition analysis in obesity. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aim was to quantify and explain differences in fat-free mass (FFM) (as an index of skeletal muscle mass, SMM) measured with bioelectrical ...

Standards for total body fat and fat-free mass in infants. [PDF]
Data on body composition in conjunction with reference centiles are helpful in identifying the severity of growth and nutritional disorders in infancy and for evaluating the adequacy of treatment given during this important period of rapid growth. Total body fat (TBF) and fat-free mass (FFM) were estimated from total body electrical conductivity (TBEC)

Fat mass to fat-free mass ratio and its associations with clinical characteristics in asthma
Fat mass to fat-free mass ratio (FM/FFM) assesses the combined effect of the balance between fat mass and fat-free mass.to evaluate the associations beetween FM/FFM and clinical outcomes in asthma and to compare clinical characteristics between individuals with higher and lower FM/FFM.128 participants with asthma underwent anthropometric, spirometry ...
