A nomogram to predict lean body mass in men
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1978A simple three scale nomogram is presented to predict lean body mass in men from two anthropometric measurements: height and the circumference of the flexed biceps. The prediction equation used in constructing the nomogram was established from data collected on 198 USAF aircrewmen.

The MTHFR gene polymorphism is associated with lean body mass but not fat body mass
Human Genetics, 2008Along with aging, human body composition undergoes notable changes and may incur sarcopenia, obesity or osteoporosis. Sarcopenia is related to a wide series of human health problems and can be largely characterized by loss of lean body mass (LBM). Studies have showed relevance of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with variation in LBM and fat

Bone Mass in Young Women Is Dependent on Lean Body Mass
Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2007Relationships between bone mineral density (BMD) and body mass, height, fat mass, and lean mass have been reported. This study examined the relationship between body size and composition on bone density in young premenopausal women. In this study, a cross-sectional design was used.

Importance of Lean Body Mass in the Oncologic Patient
Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2012Loss of lean body develops from an imbalance in protein synthesis and catabolism and is associated with a variety of different disease and nondisease states, including severe malnutrition, cachexia, and physiologic age‐related loss (sarcopenia). Loss of lean body mass is prevalent among a significant proportion of the elderly population and has been ...

Skeletal and lean body mass in alcoholics with and without cirrhosis
Calcified Tissue Research, 1975The state of the skeleton has not been carefully studied in chronic alcoholism. A decrease in bone mass has been reported in both chronic alcoholics and in patients with cirrhosis. Although this decrease has been attributed to osteoporosis, the recent discovery of the importance of the liver in the metabolic transformation of vitamin D, makes ...

Maternal Lean Body Mass and Birth‐Weight
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1996Summary: Maternal lean body mass at booking was estimated according to a formula employing the body mass index and maternal age in a sample of 511 women who booked in the first trimester of pregnancy. The significance of this parameter in comparison with established predictors of birth‐weight such as maternal weight, height, smoking, parity ...

Lean body mass, body surface area and epirubicin kinetics
Anti-Cancer Drugs, 1994For a number of cytotoxics, a relationship between efficacy and plasma concentrations has recently been demonstrated. Lean body mass has been demonstrated to be a useful parameter for predicting drug clearance for a number of non-cytotoxic drugs. However, the role of lean body mass in predicting drug clearance for any cytotoxic drug has not been ...
