Fat Free Mass Index Calculator
Formula for Fat Free Mass Index
Lean = Weight * ( 1.0 – (Body Fat / 100.0 ))
FFMI = ( Lean / 2.2 ) / ((Height * 12.0 + Inches) * 0.0254)2
Adjusted FFMI = FFMI + ( 6.0 * ( ((Height * 12.0 + Inches) * 0.0254) – 1.8 ))
Fat free mass index is useful for athlete people who has muscle rich body.
Example
A person weighing 50 kgs, with body 12 % and height 5’4 will have
Lean Weight =
=50 * (1.0 – (12 / 100))
= 50 * ( 1 – 0.12)
= 50 * 0.88
= 44.00 kg
FFMI
= ( 44 / 2.2) / ((5*12.0) + 4)*0.0254)^2
= 20 / ((60 + 4) * 0.0254)^2
= 20 / (1.6256)^2
= 20 / 2.6425
= 7.56
Adjusted FFMI
= FFMI + (6* 5 + 12.0 + 4) * 0.0254) – 1.8
= 7.56 + ( 6.0 * ( ((5 * 12.0 + 4) * 0.0254) – 1.8 ))
= 6.522
