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 ...

Fat-free mass index and fat mass index percentiles in Caucasians aged 18–98 y

International Journal of Obesity, 2002
To determine reference values for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) in a large Caucasian group of apparently healthy subjects, as a function of age and gender and to develop percentile distribution for these two parameters.Cross-sectional study in which bioelectrical impedance analysis (50 kHz) was measured (using tetrapolar ...

Trajectories of fat mass index, fat free-mass index, and waist circumference in children: Project HeartBeat!

American journal of preventive medicine, 2009
Body composition and fat distribution change dramatically during adolescence. Data based on longitudinal studies to describe these changes are limited. The aim of this study was to describe age-related changes in fat free-mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI), which are components of BMI, and waist circumference (WC) in participants of Project ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sedentarism affects body fat mass index and fat-free mass index in adults aged 18 to 98 years

Nutrition, 2004
Body mass index does not discriminate body fat from fat-free mass or determine changes in these parameters with physical activity and aging. Body fat mass index (BFMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) permit comparisons of subjects with different heights.

Fitness and Fatness: Body Mass Index versus Percent Body Fat

Journal of Clinical Exercise Physiology, 2019
ABSTRACT Background: Body mass index (BMI) is frequently used to evaluate risk of disease, but can be misleading because it does not account for different types of tissue mass (e.g., bone, muscle, fat). The purpose of this study was to classify adults in the United States according to cardiovascular fitness (CVF), BMI, and body fat ...

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
