Estimation of total body skeletal muscle mass in Chinese adults: prediction model by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
BACKGROUND: There are few reports on total body skeletal muscle mass (SM) in Chinese. The objective of this study is to establish a prediction model of SM for Chinese adults. METHODOLOGY: Appendicular lean soft tissue (ALST) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and SM by magnetic r...
