Effect of fat mass index, fat free mass index and body mass index on childhood blood pressure: a cross-sectional study in south China. [PDF]

Transl Pediatr, 2021
Evidence on how different body composition indexes, such as body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI) and fat free mass index (FFMI), influence blood pressure (BP) in Chinese children and adolescents is sparse. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of different body composition on BP in participants aged 7-18 in south China.A cross-sectional ...

Association between the combined fat mass and fat-free mass index and hypertension: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2021
Background A  higher body fat percentage is associated with hypertension, even in non-obese individuals. The difference in body composition may be related to hypertension. The fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) are proposed indicators of

Correlations of Anthropometric Measurements With Body Fat Percentage, Fat Mass, and Fat Mass Index in School-Age Children. [PDF]

Cureus
Childhood obesity is a growing public health issue globally, including in India. Anthropometric measures such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and skinfold thickness are commonly used to estimate body fat percentage (BF%), but their correlations with fat mass (FM) and fat mass index (FMI) are less emphasized.

Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index and intra-abdominal fat mass. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundThe association between waist circumference (WC) and mortality is particularly strong and direct when adjusted for body mass index (BMI). One conceivable explanation for this association is that WC adjusted for BMI is a better predictor of the ...

Replacing body mass index with relative fat mass to accurately estimate adiposity

Nature Reviews Endocrinology
Body mass index (BMI), as its name indicates, is a marker of total body mass and not a specific marker of adipose tissue mass. Here, we position relative fat mass (RFM) as an ideal alternative to BMI by highlighting the superior performance of RFM in assessing cardiometabolic risk.
