Total and regional appendicular skeletal muscle mass prediction from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry body composition models

Abstract Sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, frailty, and cachexia have in common skeletal muscle (SM) as a main component of their pathophysiology. The reference method for SM mass measurement is whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) appendicular l...
