Consistency of fat mass–fat-free mass relationship across ethnicity and sex groups [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2010
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.
