The indices FFM/HT(2) and FM/HT(2) were calculated, as were the indices FFM/HT(p) and FM/HT(p) where P was selected in order to eliminate the correlation of these indices with height.<h4>Results</h4>FFM was optimally adjusted for height by calculating FFM/HT(2). FM was optimally adjusted by calculating FM/HT(6). However, height accounted for <8% of the variation in FM/HT(2), indicating that the bias of this simpler index is small.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Different adjustments of FFM and FM for height are possible, depending on the study design. The indices FFM/HT(2) and FM/HT(2) are appropriate for many purposes, and have the advantage of expressing both aspects of body composition in common units. However, in some scenarios a more sophisticated approach is required for evaluating body fatness.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":5.638354669333745,"endowment":5.638354669333745,"datacite_reuse_total":4,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"12080448","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W45342561","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Medical Research Council","grant_id":"G9827821(62595)","title":null},{"funder_name":"Medical Research Council","grant_id":"G9827821","title":null},{"funder_name":"Wellcome Trust","grant_id":"unidentified","title":"unidentified"}],"total_grants":3,"fwci":2.2531,"citation_percentile":0.87090401,"influential_citations":10,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":9},{"year":2013,"count":11},{"year":2014,"count":16},{"year":2015,"count":13},{"year":2016,"count":16},{"year":2017,"count":10},{"year":2018,"count":13},{"year":2019,"count":19},{"year":2020,"count":17},{"year":2021,"count":12},{"year":2022,"count":13},{"year":2023,"count":8},{"year":2024,"count":15},{"year":2025,"count":5},{"year":2026,"count":3}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"Springer TDM","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.nature.com/articles/0802027.pdf","host_type":"BRONZE"},{"url":"http://www.nature.com/articles/0802027.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://www.nature.com/articles/0802027","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.ijo.0802027","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12080448","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/sj.ijo.0802027","host_type":""}],"fields_of_study":["Body Composition Measurement Techniques","Obesity, Physical Activity, Diet","Nutrition and Health in Aging","Medicine","0301 basic medicine","03 medical and health sciences","0302 clinical medicine","Adipose Tissue","Body Composition","Body Height","Body Mass Index","Body Weight","Child","Cross-Sectional Studies","Deuterium","Female","Humans","Male","Regression Analysis","United Kingdom"],"mesh_terms":["Adipose Tissue","Body Composition","Body Height","Body Weight","Child","Cross-Sectional Studies","Deuterium","Female","United Kingdom","Humans","Male","Regression Analysis","Body Mass Index"],"keywords":["Fat free mass","Fat mass","Animal science","Body mass index","Body height","Body weight","Mathematics","Chemistry","Medicine","Endocrinology","Biology","Male","Deuterium","United Kingdom","Cross-Sectional Studies","Adipose Tissue","Body Composition","Humans","Regression Analysis","Female","Child"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Zero hunger"}],"linked_datasets":[{"doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.26602594.v1","title":"Additional file 1 of The association of intrauterine and postnatal growth patterns and nutritional status with toddler body composition","publisher":"figshare","resource_type":"JournalArticle"},{"doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.26602594","title":"Additional file 1 of The association of intrauterine and postnatal growth patterns and nutritional status with toddler body composition","publisher":"figshare","resource_type":"JournalArticle"},{"doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.26602597.v1","title":"Additional file 2 of The association of intrauterine and postnatal growth patterns and nutritional status with toddler body composition","publisher":"figshare","resource_type":"JournalArticle"},{"doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.26602597","title":"Additional file 2 of The association of intrauterine and postnatal growth patterns and nutritional status with toddler body composition","publisher":"figshare","resource_type":"JournalArticle"}],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-22T17:35:33.770869Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
