Resistin levels are related to fat mass, but not to body mass index in children

Sedentarism affects body fat mass index and fat-free mass index in adults aged 18 to 98 years
Nutrition, 2004Body 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.

Body composition interpretation
Nutrition, 2003Low and high body mass index (BMI) values have been shown to increase health risks and mortality and result in variations in fat-free mass (FFM) and body fat mass (BF). Currently, there are no published ranges for a fat-free mass index (FFMI; kg/m(2)), a body fat mass index (BFMI; kg/m(2)), and percentage of body fat (%BF).

Body fat mass index and fat free mass index in healthy college students
2017AIM: It has been shown that body composition is determinant of health and mortality risk. Since body mass index (BMI) is not adequate measure of change in body fat mass and lean body mass, new indexes are proposed. However, reference values for specific populations are scarce.
