A person's center of mass is slightly below his/her belly button, which is nearly the geometric center of a person. Males and females have different centers of mass- females' centers of mass are lower than those of males. The average ratio of center of mass to height in females is appr...
In Table 1, average values of body measures and Pearson correlations between BMI and DXA-derived indices (fat mass index, percentage body fat, and lean mass index) by age and sex are shown for each stratum. BMI displayed linear relations with fat mass index and curvilinear relationships with...

older people, on average, tend to have more body fat than younger adults; • highly trained athletes may have a high BMI because of increased muscularity rather than increased body fatness. The BMI is only one factor related to risk for disease. For assessing someone’s likelihood of develop...
The mass of a (poly)peptide in proteomics is described by its monoisotopic mass, average mass or nominal mass in atomic mass units (u or amu), which is called the Dalton (Da). The monoisotopic mass of an ion is calculated using the ‘exact’ mass of the predominant isotope of each ...
The idea of BMI was established in the first half of the 19th century by Adolphe Quetelet (1796-1874), a Belgian astronomer, statistician and sociologist who wanted to measure the human body to determine the “average man,” based on statistical evidence. With no particular interest in the st...
