Replacing body mass index with relative fat mass to accurately estimate adiposity. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Rev Endocrinol
Body mass index (BMI), as its name indicates, is a marker of total body mass and not a specific marker of adipose tissue mass. Here, we position relative fat mass (RFM) as an ideal alternative to BMI by highlighting the superior performance of RFM in ...
