Example sentences for: ffm

How can you use “ffm” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • We suggest, therefore, that factors other than FFM and which are not related to body size, such as the lipid composition of cell membranes, can influence the phase angle of individuals.

  • 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.

  • Fat-free mass (FFM), the major determinant of phase angle, accounted for 36% of the variation in phase angle in our subjects.

  • 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).

  • 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.
