Body composition indexes of a load-capacity model: Gender- and BMI-specific reference curves
Download2015
Broyles, Stephanie, Heymsfield, Steven B., Prado, Carla M., Katzmarzyk, Peter T., Wells, Jonathan C. K., Mire, Emily, Siervo, Mario
Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) are frequently measured to define body composition phenotypes. The load–capacity model integrates the effects of both FM and FFM to improve disease-risk prediction. We aimed to derive age-, gender- and BMI-specific reference curves of load–capacity model...
