Measures of adiposity: the inappropriate use of the fat mass index
The fat content of the body is sometimes expressed as the fat mass index (FMI), calculated as fat mass/height2.1 This is advocated because, unlike percentage body fat (%BF), the FMI is independent of fat-free mass.2, 3 However, for most purposes as explained below, the height exponent should be three, not two.
