Fat free mass (FFM) is not a good indicator of body cell mass (BCM) in severe disease or malnutrition because of fluid shifts.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
FFM refers to the weight of everything in the body except fat, including muscle, bones, and organs. BCM, on the other hand, specifically refers to the weight of body cells. In severe disease or malnutrition, fluid shifts can occur in the body, leading to changes in FFM without necessarily affecting BCM. Therefore, FFM may not accurately reflect changes in BCM in these conditions, making it a poor indicator. This explanation supports the given answer that states "True."
