“…When anthropometric indices of boys were compared to those of girls, the majority of indices for girls were significantly higher than those for boys, with the exception of FFM, MM, and SMM percentages, which were significantly higher in boys. The current results were in agreement with a previous study conducted in Croatia among 1149 boys and girls that compared body composition between genders, which showed that girls had significantly higher FM, FM, and FMI than boys and significantly lower FFM than boys [ 38 ]. Moreover, a study showed that the percentage of FM was higher in Czech girls than boys, and FFM (kg) and SMM (kg) were higher in boys than girls [ 39 ].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of Saudi children with celiac disease (CD) who followed the Ministry of Health’s gluten-free diet (GFD) program. This study involved 66 children with CD (29 boys and 37 girls) from 5 hospitals belonging to the Ministry of Health. Socioeconomic characteristics were obtained using a structured questionnaire. Anthropometric indices were measured using a body composition analyzer. Dietary intake was assessed using three 24 h dietary records. The biochemical parameters were determined in the hospitals’ laboratories. According to the findings, the majority of respondents had ages ranging from 10 to 13 years, a father and mother with a university education, a high family income, and 5 to 7 family members. Carbohydrates and protein intake for both genders were significantly higher than the DRI’s recommended dietary intake. However, the majority of nutrients consumed were at levels significantly lower than the DRI. Both genders had normal anthropometric indices, with girls having at significantly higher indices than boys. The biochemical parameters of both genders were comparable and within the normal range, except for vitamin D, which was below the normal range. The most important factors influencing nutritional status were age for both genders, and family income and number of family members for boys. In conclusion, data obtained for nutrient intake, anthropometric indicators, body composition, and biochemical analysis indicated that CD children following the Ministry of Health GFD program have a generally good nutritional status.

“…Fat free mass is associated with a good physical and cardiorespiratory fitness as an important predictor of the current and future health. Higher levels of fat free mass may increase the sensitivity to insulin, which contributes to the uptake of glucose by muscles thus preventing excessive glucose spikes after meals (Ciardullo et al, 2023;Henriksson et al, 2016;Kasović et al, 2021).…”

Handgrip strength is an indicator of general muscle strength. Low handgrip strength is associated with various diseases that can increase morbidity and mortality. Fat free mass and basal metabolic rate are indicators of health and physical fitness. Low physical activity and degenerative changes in muscle strength in female medical students may be risk factors for cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and sarcopenia in old age. The aim of this study was to determine the association between fat free mass and basal metabolic rate with handgrip strength in female medical students. The type of research includes observational analytics with a cross-sectional design on 54 samples selected using purposive sampling techniques. Fat free mass and basal metabolic rate data were collected using a bioelectrical impedance analysis tool, handgrip strength using a handgrip dynamometry tool which was carried out directly. Statistical data analysis used the Independent sample t-test and Chi-square test. The results of the analysis using the Independent sample t-test found that there was no significant difference based on fat free mass between respondents with low handgrip strength and normal handgrip strength (p = 0.662) and there was a significant association between basal metabolic rate and handgrip strength (p = 0.001) with an odds ratio (OR) of 16.875. Female medical students need to maintain activity performance, train muscle strength, and adopt a healthy lifestyle so that handgrip strength, fat-free mass, and basal metabolic rate are maintained.

“…Sex‐differences that are consistent across human populations, but with varying proportions of FMI and FFMI across ethnic groups (Hull et al, 2011; Jin et al, 2019; Xiong et al, 2012) and even geographical regions within a country (Jin et al, 2019). Thus, there have been proposed sex‐ and age‐specific references values for different population groups (Kasović et al, 2021; Kelly et al, 2009; Lu et al, 2012; Schutz et al, 2002; Wells, 2014). It is hypothesized that genetic factors and environmental conditions such as periods of deprivation (famines) (Ravelli et al, 1976; Ravelli et al, 1999; Stein et al, 2007; Zhou et al, 2018) and the obesogenic environment (diets high in calories and sedentary behaviors) might be the mechanisms underlying the observed variability in FMI and FFMI among populations (Wells, 2006, 2007).…”

ObjectivesGuatemala has experienced rapid increases in adult obesity. We characterized body composition trajectories from adolescence to mid‐adulthood and determined the predictive role of parental characteristics, early life factors, and a nutrition intervention.MethodsOne thousand three hundred and sixty‐four individuals who participated as children in a nutrition trial (1969–1977) were followed prospectively. Body composition characterized as body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), and fat‐free mass indices (FFMI), was available at four ages between 10 and 55 years. We applied latent class growth analysis to derive sex‐specific body composition trajectories. We estimated associations between parental (age, height, schooling) and self‐characteristics (birth order, socioeconomic status, schooling, and exposure to a nutrition supplement) with body composition trajectories.ResultsIn women, we identified two latent classes of FMI (low: 79.6%; high: 20.4%) and BMI (low: 73.0%; high: 27.0%), and three of FFMI (low: 20.2%; middle: 55.9%; high: 23.9%). In men, we identified two latent classes of FMI (low: 79.6%; high: 20.4%) and FFMI (low: 62.4%; high: 37.6%), and three of BMI (low: 43.1%; middle: 46.9%; high: 10.0%). Among women, self's schooling attainment inversely predicted FMI (OR [being in a high latent class]: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.85, 0.97), and maternal schooling positively predicted FFMI (OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.39). Among men, maternal schooling, paternal age, and self's schooling attainment positively predicted FMI. Maternal schooling positively predicted FFMI, whereas maternal age and paternal schooling were inverse predictors. The nutrition intervention did not predict body composition class membership.ConclusionsParents' age and schooling, and self's schooling attainment are small but significant predictors of adult body composition trajectories.
