Normal body composition is vital for overall health. That's why maintaining balanced body fat levels is associated with a longer, disease-free life. Excessive fat, or anything that alters normal body composition, is heavily linked to conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even obesity-related depression. In this section, you'll learn about the fat free mass index, it's significance in achieving a strong and healthy physique, and how it benefits professional athletes through the years. What is the Fat Free Mass Index (FFMI)? FFMI is an alternative to body mass index which accounts for a person's muscle mass. The average male scores about 19 and it is hard to score above 25 without using steroids or other banned substances. FFMI is conceptually similar to Body Mass Index (BMI). But instead of measuring body mass in relation to height, it measures the amount of muscles (fat-free mass) relative to a person's height.
