Relative fat mass as an estimator of body fat percentage in Chilean adults

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition
The Relative Fat Mass (RFM) is an alternative index to body mass index (BMI) for estimating whole body fat percentage (BF%). Our aims were to determine the accuracy of the RFM for 1) identifying individuals with elevated BF% and, 2) estimating the BF% compared to Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a Chilean adult population.Body composition was ...

The relative contributions of lean tissue mass and fat mass to bone density in young women

Bone, 2005
Although obesity is associated with increased risk of many chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer, there is little evidence to suggest that obesity increases risk of osteoporosis. In fact, both weight and body mass index (BMI) are positive predictors of bone mass in adults, suggesting that those who are ...

Relative accuracy of body adiposity index and relative fat mass in participants with and without down syndrome

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2018
The body adiposity index (BAI) and relative fat mass (RFM) are anthropometric measures developed to estimate body composition (%Fat). There is limited research validating these methods of body composition assessment in adults with Down syndrome (DS). The aim of this study was to examine the accuracy of the BAI and RFM in a sample of adults with- and ...

Fat Mass Gain Predicts Estimated GFR Decline in a Relatively Healthy Korean Population

Nephron Clinical Practice, 2014
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Previous studies have shown that obesity is a risk factor for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the relationship between fat mass directly measured by bioimpedance analysis and eGFR is not well known. <b><i>Methods:</i></b&

Relative fat mass (RFM) is linked to testosterone deficiency in adult males

Steroids
Relative fat mass (RFM) is a novel obesity assessment metric, and we aim to explore the relationship between RFM and testosterone deficiency in US adult males.This study included data from adult males aged 20-59 years from the NHANES 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 cycles. RFM was calculated using a linear equation based on height and waist circumference (WC).

Predictive Capacity for Mortality and Severe Liver Disease of the Relative Fat Mass Algorithm

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2019
In the latest decades, obesity has become a major global health problem. Obesity has traditionally been defined as a body mass index (BMI) of equal to or more than 30 kg/m2. It is now well known that persons with obesity to a high degree develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and are at risk for developing cirrhosis.1 However, BMI has been criticized

Relative Fat Mass Associated with Hyperuricemia in Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study

Endocrine, Metabolic & Immune Disorders - Drug Targets
Aims: There is a close relationship between obesity and hyperuricemia. Relative Fat Mass (RFM) is considered a new indicator for evaluating obesity. We aim to explore the relationship between RFM and the risk of hyperuricemia in adults. Methods:

Relative contribution of lean and fat mass component to bone mineral density in males

Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, 2003
We investigated the relative contribution of lean body mass (LBM) and body fat mass to bone mineral density (BMD) in 93 healthy Japanese male volunteers (mean age, 33.1 +/- 6.9 years; range, 18-54 years). Age, height (Ht), weight (Wt), and body mass index (BMI, Wt/Ht(2)) were recorded.
