Fat-Free Mass as a Function of Fat Mass and Habitual Activity Level [PDF]

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1992
The best predictor of energy expenditure in man is the fat-free mass of the body. Fat-free mass explains most of the variation in resting metabolic rate and even in total metabolic rate under sedentary conditions. We studied possible determinants of fat-free mass as routes to influence energy metabolism.

Left ventricular mass correlates with fat-free mass but not fat mass in adults

Journal of Hypertension, 1999
Left ventricular mass is associated with body size, obesity and blood pressure. Echocardiography is routinely used to estimate this parameter, which is usually indexed to body surface area to allow comparisons to be made between individuals and groups of different body size.

The relationship between body fat mass and fat-free mass.

Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 1991
It has been suggested that there is a curvilinear relationship between lean body or fat-free mass and body fat mass. In order to confirm this relationship, body composition was measured by determining body density and total body water using deuterium-labeled water in subjects varying widely in body fat mass. There were 29 males and 75 females with body

To what extent is bone mass determined by fat-free or fat mass?

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995
One hundred sixty-four healthy black and white women aged 24-79 y were studied to determine to what extent bone mass is determined by fat-free mass (FFM). A multicomponent approach to body composition, with techniques that are not interdependent, was used.

Prediction of resting energy expenditure from fat-free mass and fat mass

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992
On the basis of literature values, the relationship between fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), and resting energy expenditure [REE (kJ/24 h)] was determined for 213 adults (86 males, 127 females). The objectives were to develop a mathematical model to predict REE based on body composition and to evaluate the contribution of FFM and FM to REE.

Relationship of fat mass and fat distribution to blood pressure

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 1990
The relationship of fat mass, lean body mass (LBM), and fat distribution to blood pressure was examined in Japanese adult men and women. Percent body fat was estimated using two skinfold thicknesses, and fat mass and LBM were then calculated. Correlation coefficients showed that fat mass, fat distribution, and age were weakly associated with blood ...

Adjustment of fat-free mass and fat mass for height in children aged 8 y

International Journal of Obesity, 2002
To explore the relationships between height and (a) fat-free mass (FFM) and (b) fat mass (FM) in children in order to determine the optimum means of adjusting body composition for height.Cross-sectional study.Sixty-nine children aged 8 y.Weight and height (HT) were measured, and total body water by deuterium dilution for estimation of fat-free mass and

Fat-free mass and fat mass in active boys during adolescence

American Journal of Human Biology, 1997
Longitudinal body composition data were examined in 24 active and 10 control boys between the ages of 12.3 and 15.3 years. The main objectives were (1) to contrast the distance and velocity curves of fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) in active and control groups using chronological and maturity bases, and (2) to compare the timing and magnitude of ...

Factors that alter body fat, body mass, and fat-free mass in pediatric obesity

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2002
The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of exercise treatment programs on changes in body mass, fat-free mass, and body fat in obese children and adolescents.By using the meta-analytic approach, studies that met the following criteria were included in our analyses: 1) at least six subjects per group; 2) subject groups consisting of ...
