Development of prediction equations for estimating appendicular skeletal muscle mass in Japanese men and women

Development of prediction equations for estimating appendicular skeletal muscle mass in Japanese men and women

Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and cross-validate prediction equations for estimating appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) and to examine the relationship between sarcopenia defined by the prediction equations and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) or osteoporosis in...
