FFMI Norms for Masters Athletes (50+)
Higher scores correlate with better metabolic health, bone density, and functional independence in later decades.

Why FFMI Matters Over 50
Standard BMI is deeply flawed for masters athletes as it cannot distinguish between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. The Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI) provides a normalized score of muscle mass relative to height, allowing you to track whether your training is successfully mitigating age-related muscle loss (Sarcopenia).
The Kouri Normalization
This calculator applies the Kouri et al. adjustment for height, which standardizes results to a 1.8m frame. For athletes 50+, maintaining an FFMI above 20 is a primary indicator of metabolic health and functional independence.
