Ripka, Wagner L., Orsso, Camila E., Haqq, Andrea M., Prado, Carla M., Ulbricht, Leandra, Leite, Neiva
Background The pediatric relative fat mass (RFM) has been recently presented and validated as an index for estimating percentage body fat (%BF) in North American children and adolescents. Similar to body mass index (BMI) and tri-ponderal mass index (TMI), RFM uses anthropometric measures (i.e.,...

Ford, Katherine L., Sawyer, Michael B., Trottier, Claire F., Ghosh, Sunita, Deutz, Nicolaas E. P., Siervo, Mario, Porter Starr, Kathryn N., Bales, Connie W., Disi, Ilana Roitman, Prado, Carla M.
Background Severe muscle mass (MM) loss is a defining feature of cancer observed across all types and stages of disease and is an independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes including higher incidences of chemotherapy toxicity and decreased survival. Protein is essential to build MM, yet the...
