FFMI (Fat Free Mass Index) is a measure used to assess a person’s muscle mass (lean mass) in relation to their body size. You can follow the steps below to calculate FFMI: Determine Body Weight and Lean Mass: The first step is to determine one’s body weight and lean mass (muscle...

Nutritional status is assessed by measuring BMI or percent body fat (%fat). BMI can misclassify persons who carry more weight as fat-free mass and %fat can be misleading in cases of malnutrition or in disease states characterized by wasting of lean tissu
Changes in body energy stores are approximated as change in tissue masses usually in two compartments (i.e. fat-free mass and fat mass) between two points in time (i.e. the start and conclusion of an intervention) multiplied by their respective energy densities (e.g. 1100 kcal/kg for fa...
Although the body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) is widely used as a surrogate measure of adiposity, it is a measure of excess weight, rather than excess body fat, relative to height. We examined the relation of BMI to levels of fat mass and fat-free mass among healthy 5- to 18-y-olds....
Associations of Body Mass Index and Anthropometric Indicators of Fat Mass and Fat Free Mass with All-cause Mortality among Women in the First and Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys Follow-up Studies SHANKUAN ZHU, MD, PHD, MOONSEONG HEO, PHD, MICHAEL PLANKEY, PHD, MYLES ...
Although body mass index (BMI) is the most frequently used method to assess overweightness and obesity, this method has been criticized because BMI does not always reflect true body fatness, which may be better evaluated by assessment of body fat and fat-free mass. The objective of this ...
OBJECTIVE: To describe differences in the 22 y mortality risk associated with body mass index (BMI), body fat or fat-free mass, in order to examine if the differential health consequences of fat and fat-free mass may be responsible for elevated mortality rates at both high and low BMI....
The effects of also matching for body mass index (BMI = mass/stature2) or its components, fat percentage of body mass (fat%) and fat free mass index (FFMI = fat free mass/stature2) were studied. METHODS The subjects were 458 asymptomatic male and female non-smokers (383 men) and 22...
