Stratification of Fat‐Free Mass Index Percentiles for Body Composition Based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III Bioelectric Impedance Data

Abstract: Background Loss of protein mass and lower fat-free mass index (FFMI) are associated with longer length of stay, post-surgical complications and other poor outcomes in hospitalized patients Normative data for FFMI of U.S. populations does not exist. This work aims to create a stratified FFMI percentile table for the U.S. population using the large bioelectric impedance analysis data obtained from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). Methods Fat-free mass (FFM) was calculated from the NH… Show more

“…Age may also be a confounding variable for the effect of BMI z-scores on PM in our study. Indeed, fat-free mass is known to increase with age, with adolescents typically having more fat-free mass than younger children [3,22,41]. The post hoc analysis confirmed that the positive effect of BMI on PM found in younger children (≤ 12 years) disappeared in adolescents.…”

“…Nutritional therapy should be introduced forth with if the patient is deemed to be at risk from malnutrition questionnaires or if low FFMI (< 15 kg/m 2 for females, < 17 kg/m 2 for men) is detected (16). Monitoring body composition regularly helps to personalize nutritional plans and reduce the risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia, resulting in a better quality of life for our patients (29). IBD patients therapy needs a multidisciplinary approach and individually tailored diagnostic and therapeutic decisions at the same time.…”

“…For example, Harrington et al [38] used NHANES 2009-2010 to stratify the US population by demographic variables to investigate sitting behavior. Kudsk et al, [39] used NHANES 1988-1994 data to assess poor outcomes in hospitalized patients for demographic strata.…”
