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.

Serum osmolarity and haematocrit do not modify the association between the impedance index (Ht2/Z) and total body water in the very old: The Newcastle 85+ Study [PDF]

, 2015
Bioelectrical impedance is a non-invasive technique for the assessment of body composition; however, information on its accuracy in the very old (80+ years) is limited.

Body Fat Distribution, Overweight, and Cardiac Structures in School‐Age Children: A Population‐Based Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Adiposity is associated with larger left ventricular mass in children and adults. The role of body fat distribution in these associations is not clear.

Computed tomography measures of nutrition in patients with end-stage liver disease provide a novel approach to characterize deficits [PDF]

, 2018
Aim Patients with cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease (ESLD) develop severe nutrition deficits that impact on morbidity and mortality. Laboratory measures of nutrition fail to fully assess clinical deficits in muscle mass and fat stores.

Reference Standards for Body Fat Measure Using GE Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Caucasian Adults

, 2017
Background Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an established technique for the measurement of body composition. Reference values for these variables, particularly those related to fat mass, are necessary for interpretation and accurate ...

The novel expression method of pediatric body composition : fat mass index and fat-free mass index

Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2007
Purpose : This study was conducted to assess the usefulness of fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) as novel expression methods of body composition in children. Methods : A total of 466 Second grade students-248 boys and 218 girls- from all elementary schools the Gwacheon City underwent anthropometric measures including bioelectrical ...

Association of fat mass index versus appendicular lean mass index with physical function – The Yishun Study

Aging and Health Research, 2022
Background: Increase in body fat and reduced muscle mass are common body composition changes with age and precedes functional impairment. However, it remains unclear whether increased adiposity or less lean mass is a stronger determinant of worse ...
