Contributions of lean mass and fat mass to bone mineral density: a study in postmenopausal women [PDF]

, 2010
Background. The relative contribution of lean and fat to the determination of bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women is a contentious issue. The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that lean mass is a better determinant of BMD

The Estimation of the Fat Free Mass Index in Athletes

Asian Journal of Sports Medicine, 2012
The purpose of this investigation was to compare a practical measurement of fat free mass index (FFMI) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) value in collegiate athletes.Thirty-three male baseball players and 16 female gymnasts volunteered to participate in this study during their respective pre ...

Different correlation of body mass index with body fatness and obesity-related biomarker according to age, sex and race-ethnicity

Scientific Reports, 2023
The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and body fatness could differ according to age, sex, and race-ethnicity. We aimed to evaluate in which contexts BMI could be a good measure for body fatness compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)

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 ...

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 ...
