The use of body mass index for measurement of fat mass in children is highly dependant on abdominal fat

Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 2009
We examined the relationship between body fat and body mass index (BMI) in a multiethnic population of obese children. BMI z-scores were compared to DEXA measures of whole body composition and regional fat distribution. Fat mass index (FMI) was best predicted by the equation: 1/[(0.159- 0.013 x percentile of total abdominal fat)- (0.01 x BMI z-score)],

International Journal of Obesity, 2009
The fat content of the body is sometimes expressed as the fat mass index (FMI), calculated as fat mass/height2.1 This is advocated because, unlike percentage body fat (%BF), the FMI is independent of fat-free mass.2, 3 However, for most purposes as explained below, the height exponent should be three, not two.
