The initial-final theoretical mass relations Mi-Mf for low- and intermediate-mass stars are presented and the effect of different assumptions on mass loss is discussed. It appears that Weidemann and Koester (1983) Mi-Mf relations are erroneous. The data on AGB stars in the Magellanic Cloud clusters indicate that the mass loss process is very sensitive to the metal abundance. Mass distributions of white dwarfs must be different in galaxies with different chemical compositions.
