Calculator of Fat Free Mass Index

Formula of Fat Free Mass Index

Lean = Weight * ( 1.0 - (BodyFat / 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
