Collateral fattening: when a deficit in lean body mass drives overeating [PDF]
In his last review entitled “Some Adventures in Body Composition,” Gilbert Forbes reminded us that “lean body mass and body fat are in a sense companions.” To what extent the lean body mass (or fat-free mass) component in this companionship impacts on

EHMTI-0292. The effect of body fat mass and fat free mass on migraine headache [PDF]
Obesity seems to be associated to migraine headache. Increase in body fat, especially ingluteofemoral region, elevates adiponectin and leptin secretion which in turn impair inflammatory processes that could be contributing to migraine risk.

FTO Genotype and 2-Year Change in Body Composition and Fat Distribution in Response to Weight-Loss Diets: The POUNDS LOST Trial [PDF]
Recent evidence suggests that the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) genotype may interact with dietary intakes in relation to adiposity. We tested the effect of FTO variant on weight loss in response to 2-year diet interventions.

Measurement of children's body composition has become increasingly common. However, attention has been focused on methods, and less on the way in which data is expressed.Objectiveto study the relationship between height (Ht) with fat mass (FM) and fat‐free mass (FFM), measured by DXA in preschool children; and calculate an independent index (FMI and ...

Consistency of fat mass–fat-free mass relationship across ethnicity and sex groups [PDF]
The model developed by Forbes (1987) of how body fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) change during periods of weight loss or gain (Δ body weight (BW)) assumed that they change in relationship to a constantC = 10·4, where ΔFFM/ΔBW = 10·4/(10·4+FM). Forbes derivedCbased on aggregated, cross-sectional data from a small sample of women.
