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

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 ...

Evolution of body composition following successful kidney transplantation is strongly influenced by physical activity: results of the CORPOS study

BMC Nephrology, 2021
Background Weight gain (mainly gain of fat mass) occurs quickly after successful kidney transplantation and is associated with metabolic complications (alterations of glycaemic control, hyperlipidaemia). Determinants of weight gain are multifactorial and
