Background: Little is known about the association of changes in two body components, muscle and fat mass, with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among young adults. We investigated the association of changes in predicted lean body mass index (LBMI), appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (AS...

Objective To investigate the association of predicted lean body mass, fat mass, and body mass index (BMI) with all cause and cause specific mortality in men. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Health professionals in the United States Participants 38 006 men (aged 40-75 years) from the Health ...

An inverse association between body mass index (BMI) and risk of lung cancer has been reported. However, the association of body composition such as fat mass (FM) and lean body mass (LBM) with risk of lung cancer has not been fully investigated. Using two large prospective cohort studies (Nurses' He...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that predicted fat mass and lean body mass may act differently on adverse events. However, the cardiovascular prognostic value of lean body mass and fat mass in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not yet been investigated. We sought to investig...

Background: Estimating body composition is relevant in diabetes disease management, such as drug administration and risk assessment of morbidity/mortality. It is unclear how machine learning algorithms could improve easily obtainable body muscle and fat estimates. The objective was to develop and v...

Obesity, typically assessed by body mass index (BMI), is associated with an increased risk of 13 cancers, including breast, endometrial, colorectal and kidney cancers [1]. In contrast, an inverse association of BMI with the risk of lung cancer is seen in many epidemiologic studies [2-7]. This invers...
