Metabolism, 1995 A study of 49 pairs of monozygous (MZ) twins and 38 pairs of same-sexed dizygous (DZ) twins showed that lean body mass (LBM), as determined by potassium 40 counting, is under genetic influence. Intrapair variances for LBM are much smaller than those for body fat, which suggests that LBM has a higher degree of heritability.

Dapagliflozin increases the lean-to total mass ratio in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Nutrition & Diabetes, 2021 We compared the effect of dapagliflozin versus glibenclamide on the ratio of lean-to total mass in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, carotid subclinical atherosclerosis, HbA1c 7.0–9.0% and 40–70 years-old.

Body composition and pulmonary function in Cystic Fibrosis
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2014 Background: Lower body mass index (BMI) is associated with worse pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis (CF). Hypothesis: Lean body mass (LBM) is more strongly associated with pulmonary function than BMI is.Methods: Anthropometrics, body composition by ...

Association between obesity and bacterial vaginosis as assessed by Nugent score [PDF]
, 2019 Background Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common vaginal conditions in the U.S. Recent studies have suggested obese women have an abnormal microbiota reminiscent of BV; however, few studies have investigated the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis

Serum Creatinine and Fat-free Mass (Lean Body Mass) [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2000 Serum creatinine is widely used as an index of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (1). However, it is not a sensitive index because GFR may have to decrease by >50% before serum creatinine becomes “abnormal”, and this may be at least partly attributable to the wide reference interval for serum creatinine (44–124 μmol/L).
