Reference values of skeletal muscle area for diagnosis of sarcopenia using chest computed tomography in Asian general population

Abstract Background Diagnostic cutoff points for sarcopenia in chest computed tomography (CT) have not been established although CT is widely used for investigating skeletal muscles. This study aimed to determine reference values for sarcopenia of thoracic skeletal muscles acquired from chest CT sca...
