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

Journal 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.

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 ...

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.

BMI-BFMNU: A structural index linked to fat mass

Revista Española de Nutrición Humana y Dietética, 2021
Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) provides little information on body composition. For example, two people with the same BMI might have different body compositions.

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 ...

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

Annals 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 ...

Body mass index percentiles versus body composition assessments: Challenges for disease risk classifications in children

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
BackgroundIdentifying at-risk children with optimal specificity and sensitivity to allow for the appropriate intervention strategies to be implemented is crucial to improving the health and well-being of children. We determined relationships of body mass
