Abstract:Assessment of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is essential to monitor physical performance and health status. The most widely used anthropometric equations have repeatedly demonstrated to overestimate or underestimate SMM in different populations. Herein, we developed and cross-validated a new anthropometric regression equation for estimating SMM, using DXA as the reference method. A group of 206 healthy Caucasian participants aged 18–65 years were included in the final analysis. Participants underwent a dual-energ… Show more
