Trajectories of Fat Mass Index, Fat Free–Mass Index, and Waist Circumference in Children [PDF]

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 ...

The utility of fat mass index vs. body mass index and percentage of body fat in the screening of metabolic syndrome [PDF]

BMC Public Health, 2013
Abstract Background It has been well documented that obesity is closely associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Although body mass index (BMI) is the most frequently used method to assess overweightness and obesity, this method has been criticized because BMI does not always reflect true body fatness, which may be ...
