Sexual Dimorphism of the Fat Mass Index and the Fat-Free Mass Index in Healthy Adolescents

, 2023
Body mass index (BMI) does not allow to discriminate the composition of the different body compartments. This study points to the formulation of reference values of fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) in healthy adolescents by means of anthropometric techniques, and the subsequent availability in clinical practice as reference charts ...

Association between the combined fat mass and fat-free mass index and hypertension: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2021
Background A  higher body fat percentage is associated with hypertension, even in non-obese individuals. The difference in body composition may be related to hypertension. The fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) are proposed indicators of

Associations of Body Mass and Fat Indexes With Cardiometabolic Traits [PDF]

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
Body mass index (BMI) is criticized for not distinguishing fat from lean mass and ignoring fat distribution, leaving its ability to detect health effects unclear.The aim of this study was to compare BMI with total and regional fat indexes from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in their associations with cardiometabolic traits.

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.
