Site-specific associations of muscle thickness with bone mineral density in middle-aged and older men and women
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2016-06)It is unknown whether age-related site-specific muscle loss is associated with areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in older adults. To examine the relationships between aBMD and whole-body muscle thickness distribution, 97 ... -
Site-specific thigh muscle loss as an independent phenomenon for age-related muscle loss in middle-aged and older men and women
(Springer, 2014-06)The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-determined appendicular lean mass (aLM) and ultrasound-measured thigh muscle thickness (MTH) ratio and between aLM ... -
Validity of ultrasound prediction equations for total and regional muscularity in middle-aged and older men and women
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2015-02)To test the validity of published equations, 79 Caucasian adults (40 men and 39 women) aged 50-78 y had muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound at nine sites of the body. Fat-free mass (FFM), lean soft tissue mass ...
