Improved strength prediction combining clinically available measures of skeletal muscle mass and quality

Abstract Background Measures of skeletal muscle function decline at a faster rate with ageing than do indices of skeletal muscle mass. These observations have been attributed to age‐related changes in muscle quality, another functional determinant separate from skeletal muscle mass. This study teste...
