Application of the D3‐creatine muscle mass assessment tool to a geriatric weight loss trial: A pilot study

Abstract Background Traditionally, weight loss (WL) trials utilize dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure lean mass. This method assumes lean mass, as the sum of all non‐bone and non‐fat tissue, is a reasonable proxy for muscle mass. In contrast, the D3‐creatine (D3Cr) dilution method dir...
