Background The objectives of this study were to develop a regression model for predicting fat-free mass (FFM) in a population of healthy Taiwanese individuals using standing foot-to-foot bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and to test the model’s performance in predicting FFM with different body fat percentages (BF%). Methods We used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure the FFM of...
Background Fat-free mass (FFM) depletion has been shown to be a better predictor of mortality than BMI in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The specific aim of the current study was to assess the nutritional status of stable COPD patients in relation to fat free mass index profiles. Methods We investigated 65 male moderate-to-severe stable COPD patients. A self-reported...
