Fat-free mass (FFM), the major determinant of phase angle, accounted for 36% of the variation in phase angle in our subjects.
We reported previously significantly lower phase angle values in both African American and Nigerian children with SCD [ 18 27 ] . Because phase angle is related to the amount of lean body tissue and the corresponding amounts of tissue membranes [ 28 ] , it could be that the lower phase angle we observed previously in both the Nigerian and African American children were the result of the lower FFM of SCD children compared to their corresponding controls.
When phase angle was the dependent variable and FFM, oleic acid, 20:5n-3, 22:5 n-3, and DHA and cholesterol were included as the independent variables, only DHA and FFM remained statistically significant (p = 0.004, p < 0.001, respectively).
However, when regression models were used that included cholesterol, DHA, and FFM, only DHA and FFM were found to be significantly correlated with phase angle.
Patients with SCD, particularly males over the age of 10 years, usually have significantly less FFM than their healthy counterparts [ 29 ] . However, in the present study, although there were no significant differences in the mean weight, BMI, or FFM of the controls and the SCD subjects, nevertheless, we still observed a statistically significant difference in the calculated phase angle of the two groups.
