Predicted fat mass index

1. Predicted fat mass index has no effect on stroke in humans (HR 0.924 (95% CI 0.800–1.067)).

   “0.924 (0.800–1.067) in ELSA”

1. Predicted fat mass index is associated with body mass index in humans (r = 0.977–0.988).

   “pBFMI correlated strongly with BMI (r = 0.977–0.988)”
