Validity of bioelectrical impedance to estimate fat-free mass in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Validity of bioelectrical impedance to estimate fat-free mass in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The evaluation of fat-free mass (FFM) in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is useful to investigate disease progression and therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to validate the Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) method compared with the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for estimatin...
