What this number means

FFMI describes estimated fat free mass relative to height. It is not a direct measure of muscle mass, strength, health or performance. The result inherits every error in the body fat estimate.

The widely repeated FFMI value of 25 came from a study of male athletes. It is not a universal natural limit and cannot prove or disprove drug use. Later athlete samples have included many values above 25.
