Background and objective Detailed body composition, such as fat‐free mass, has not been examined in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We investigated whether the fat‐free mass index (FFMI), an index of lean body mass, predicted survival. Methods Forty‐four patients with IPF were enrolled in the study. Their body composition was assessed using direct segmental multi‐frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. The degree of correlation between variables of body composition and other variables such as forced vital capacity …
