Fat mass and fat-free mass
The measurement of body composition such as fat-free mass (FFM) or lean body mass, bone mineral content (BMC), and body weight is important in clinical nutrition, as overweight and obesity are recurrent problems in developed countries, which may lead to various diseases such as diabetes, cancers and cardiovascular anomalies [1]. The lean body mass (LBM) consists of 15% of bones with a density of 1.56, 10% of structural lipid with a density of 0.94 and 75% of cells with a density of 1.06. Other important parameters are accessible from the five listed, as fat mass (FM) is equal to W-FFM, the lean body mass.
It is thus important for this population to adapt their food intake and exercise. these measurements can be made using Dual X-Ray absorptiometry (DXA) calculates independently FFM, FM and BMC for the whole body and give a detailed distribution of these tissues inside the body. But DXA measurements are expensive and cannot be repeated frequently, due to radiation.
