Causal associations between body fat accumulation and COVID-19 severity: A Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Previous studies reported associations between obesity measured by body mass index (BMI) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, BMI is calculated only with height and weight and cannot distinguish between body fat mass and fat-free mass. Thus,

Fat mass to fat-free mass ratio and its associations with clinical characteristics in asthma

Heart & Lung, 2022
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 ...

Computed tomography measures of nutrition in patients with end-stage liver disease provide a novel approach to characterize deficits [PDF]

, 2018
Aim Patients with cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease (ESLD) develop severe nutrition deficits that impact on morbidity and mortality. Laboratory measures of nutrition fail to fully assess clinical deficits in muscle mass and fat stores.

EHMTI-0292. The effect of body fat mass and fat free mass on migraine headache [PDF]

The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2014
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.
