Performance of Body Fat Percentage, Fat Mass Index and Body Mass Index for Detecting Cardiometabolic Outcomes in Brazilian Adults [PDF]

open access: yesNutrients, 2023
Obesity is a recognized risk factor for the development of cardiometabolic outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate anthropometric and body composition indicators used for its diagnosis. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of body fat percentage (BF%), fat mass index (FMI) and body mass index (BMI) for detecting ...

Differential impacts between fat mass index and fat-free mass index on patients with COPD

Respiratory Medicine, 2023
Differences in the clinical impacts of fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) remain unclear in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We hypothesized that FMI and FFMI have different impacts on 1) emphysema and 2) pulmonary function and health-related quality of life of COPD patients.Patients with COPD (n = 228 ...

Reference Norms for a Fat-free Mass Index and Fat Mass Index in the Japanese Child Population

open access: yesJournal of Physiological Anthropology and Applied Human Science, 2003
The aims of this study were to determine reference norms for a fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) in a large population of healthy children in Japan, to observe differences in these values in three age groups between ages three and eleven, and to develop percentile distributions for these parameters.

Relation of body mass index, fat mass index and fat-free mass index to blood pressure in children aged 7–12 in Shandong, China

open access: yesAnnals of Human Biology, 2011
Body mass index (BMI) is widely used to assess the prevalence of childhood obesity in populations and its relationship with blood pressure has been observed. However, no studies on the distribution of fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) and their relationship with blood pressure have been reported.The present study examined the ...

Characteristics and reference values of fat mass index and fat free mass index by bioelectrical impedance analysis in an adult population

Clinical Nutrition, 2019
We aim to examine the influence of sex, age, region and ethnicity on fat mass index (FMI) and fat free mass index (FFMI), and to establish FMI and FFMI reference values in Chinese adults.A stratified cluster sampling method was adopted to enroll Chinese participants in this cross-sectional study.

Body mass index and body fatness in childhood

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, 2005
The prevalence of overweight, as assessed by a high body mass index (kg/m), has greatly increased among children and adolescents over the last three decades. Because body mass index is a measure of excess weight rather than excess body fatness, it is important to understand the ability of a high level to identify children who truly have excess ...

Body mass index as an estimate of body fat

International Journal of Eating Disorders, 1995
Body mass index (BMI) was compared with percentage body fat (%Fat) measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 233 adolescent schoolgirl volunteers and 179 adult female patients. Repeat measurements were made on 67 of the adolescents and 51 of the adults.

Fat mass index and airway hyperresponsiveness in Korean adults

Postgraduate Medicine, 2023
Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is associated with asthma and obesity, which is defined as a high body mass index. Body mass mainly comprises fat mass (FM) and muscle mass (MM), which are independent of each other. We investigated the effect of changes in FM over time on the development of asymptomatic AHR in adults.This long-term longitudinal study ...

Body mass index, body fat percentage, and the effect of body fat mass on SWL success

International Urology and Nephrology, 2007
In the present study, we investigated the effects of the Body Mass Index (BMI), the Body Fat Percentage (BFP), and the Body Fat Mass (BFM) on success of SWL, prospectively.The BMI, BFP, BFM values of patients, who were treated by SWL due to upper urinary system stone disease (pelvis renalis, upper ureter, kidney lower and upper calices) between January
