Reference values of fat mass index and fat-free mass index in healthy Spanish adolescents. [PDF]

Nutrición Hospitalaria, 2019
Abstract Background . Body mass index (BMI) does not allow to discriminate the composition of the different body compartments. The aim of this study is to elaborate reference values ​of the fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) in healthy adolescents using anthropometric techniques in order to be available as reference standards ...

Measurement of Fat-Free Mass in Infants [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1995
Body composition data are important for adequate monitoring of growth and nutritional status in infants. 18O Isotope dilution techniques (ID18-O) are widely used to estimate total body water (TBW) and calculate fat-free mass (FFM). A problem of isotope dilution is an underestimation of TBW by the extrapolation to t = O approach and an overestimation of
