Prognostic potential of body composition indices in detecting risk of musculoskeletal injury in army officer cadet profiles. [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVES: High values in most of the body composition indices have been related to musculoskeletal injuries, but limited data exists on the accuracy of these diagnoses when detecting musculoskeletal injuries in military populations.

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 ...

The role of fat mass index in determining obesity [PDF]

American Journal of Human Biology, 2010
AbstractObjectives:The objective of this study is to compare body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (PBF), and fat mass index (FMI) and to investigate the accuracy of FMI as a convenient tool for assessing obesity.Design:Anthropometric measurements and bioelectrical impedance analyses were performed on 538 Mexican Americans (373 women and 165 men ...

Low Fat-Free Mass Index Measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Correlates With Hematologic Adverse Events in Early-Stage Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2022
Background: Low muscle mass is associated with worse cancer treatment outcomes. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or computerized tomography-based analysis have both been widely studied in this clinical setting, studies in the use 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.

Cathelicidin suppresses lipid accumulation and hepatic steatosis by inhibition of the CD36 receptor. [PDF]

, 2016
Background and objectivesObesity is a global epidemic which increases the risk of the metabolic syndrome. Cathelicidin (LL-37 and mCRAMP) is an antimicrobial peptide with an unknown role in obesity.

Fat tissue accretion in children and adolescents : interplay between food responsiveness, gender, and the home availability of snacks [PDF]

, 2017
The appetitive trait "food responsiveness" is assumed to be a risk factor for adiposity gain primarily in obesogenic environments. So far, the reported results are inconsistent in school-aged children, possibly because these studies did not take into ...

Fat free mass index and fat mass index tracing on body composition chart in diabetes adolescent girls [PDF]

International Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology, 2015
Aims The prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes is increasing, and the impact of obesity on diabetes manifestation should be considered in management of type 1 diabetes children. There are some cases difficult to categorize into certain type in pediatric diabetic patients in the era of acceleration.
