| filar mass | A filamentous plasmatic material, beaded with granules, demonstrable by means of vital staining in the immature red blood cells. Synonym: alpha substance, filar mass, filar substance, substantia reticularis, substantia reticulofilamentosa. Synonym: reticular formation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral mass of atlas | The thick lateral part of the atlas on each side that articulates above with the occipital condyle and below with the axis. Synonym: massa lateralis atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral mass of ethmoid bone | A mass of air cells with thin bony walls forming part of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity; the cells are arranged in three groups, anterior, middle, and posterior, and are closed laterally by the orbital plate which forms part of the wall of the orbit. Synonym: labyrinthus ethmoidalis, ectethmoid, ectoethmoid, lateral mass of ethmoid bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fourth ventricle mass | <radiology> IN ADULTS: choroid plexus papilloma, haemangioblastoma, vermian metastasis, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), inflammatory mass/cyst IN KIDS: medulloblastoma, uniform enhancement, homogeneous, ependymoma, patchy enhancement, heterogeneous, calcified (12 Dec 1998) |
| law of mass action | <chemistry> This law states that the rate of a given chemical reaction is proportional to concentration of the reactants. (09 Oct 1997) |
| absorbancy index | Absorbance (of light) per unit path length (usually the centimeter) and per unit of mass concentration. Compare: molar absorption coefficient. Synonym: absorbancy index, absorptivity, extinction coefficient, specific extinction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar index | Relation between the basialveolar (basion to alveolar point) and basinasal (basion to nasion) lengths: (basialveolar length × 100)/basinasal length; the result indicates the degree of projection of the maxilla or upper jaw. Synonym: alveolar index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaesthetic index | Ratio of the number of units of anaesthetic required for anaesthesia to the number of units of anaesthetic required to produce respiratory or cardiovascular failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antitryptic index | An obsolete term for the relative retardation in loss of viscosity of a solution of casein incubated with trypsin, to which a drop of abnormal blood serum (as from a cancerous patient) has been added, compared with that in a similar solution to which normal serum has been added; if the former drips through the tube of the viscosimeter in 100 seconds, and the latter in 104 seconds, the antitryptic index is 4. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Arneth index | An expression based on adding the percentages of polymorphonuclear neutrophils with 1 or 2 lobes in their nuclei, plus one-half the percentage with 3 lobes; the normal value is 60%. See: Arneth formula, Arneth count. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Bodecker index | A modification of the DMF caries index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| body mass index |
A measurement of the relative percentages of fat and muscle mass in the human body, in which weight in kilograms is divided by height in meters and the result used as an index of obesity.

| body mass index |
(BMI) Weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in metres. Among middle-aged adults, BMI is strongly correlated with fat mass. The risk of diabetes, high blood pressure or coronary heart disease increases with increasing BMI. Because there is no specific BMI associated with an increased risk of disease, various levels of BMI are used as guidelines for healthy targets. This report uses a level of BMI of 25.0-29.9 as excess weight, and a level of BMI ?30 as obesity.

| body mass index |
A number that is calculated based on an individual's height and weight. A BMI between 18 and 25 is considered normal. A BMI over 25 suggests that the individual is overweight, while 30-39 indicates obesity. A BMI of 40+ suggests severe obesity. Calculate your BMI

| body mass index |
Body mass index (BMI) is measure of body fat based on height and weight. While BMIs are a good measure of population health, there are limitations when applying to individual health (eg may not adequately measure children going through growing spurts, do not provide accurate measures on individuals with high muscle mass). BMI calculators are available through searching the internet.

| body mass index |
A tool for indicating weight status in individuals. For adults, it is a measure of weight for height; for children age and gender are factors as well. It is a formula used to estimate body fat and gauge health risks. The BMI is only one factor in determining a person's health risk.
