The article discusses the use of fat-free mass index (FFMI) and body fat mass index (BFMI) in measuring the percentage of body fat through low, normal and obese in Korean population.HyunsooSoonchang
What is a suitable Fat-Free Mass Index for Athletes? Athletes, given their intense training regimes and specific nutritional plans, often have a different Fat-Free Mass Index compared to the general population. Depending on the sport and training intensity, athletes can have an FFMI ranging from...
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 m...
You’ve probably heard aboutbody mass index(BMI) but what about the fat-free mass index (FFMI)? This tool factors in more than your weight, but takes into account muscle mass and fat mass as well. It is yet another great way to track your fat loss progress than just relying on the ...
OBJECTIVE: To determine reference values for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) in a large Caucasian group of apparently healthy subjects, as a function of age and gender and to develop percentile distribution for these two parameters. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study in which ...
To compare the characteristics of body composition for different gender and age in a large number of apparently healthy Chinese subjects, and to determine reference values for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI).In total, 61,382 Chinese adults (age range: 18-92 years) were...

One limitation of using FFM and BF as a nutritional assessment criterion is that FFM and BF change with age and sex, and percentile ranks are population specific.11 This limitation can be overcome by normalizing FFM and BF by using the fat-free mass index (FFMI) and body fat mass index ...
(DXA). DXA is a novel scanning technique that accurately estimates fat-free mass, leanbody mass, and bone mineral mass. Subjects lie supine on a padded table for 20–45 minutes during which time two very low energy (6.4 and 11.2 fJ) x-ray beams are passed through the body (Fig. 2;...
The aims of this study were to determine reference norms for a fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) in a large population of healthy children in Japan, to observe differences in these values in three age groups between ages three and eleven, and to develop percentile distri...
