Fat mass and lean mass (weight in kg) were adjusted by height (in meters) squared - measured as fat mass index (FMI) and appendicular lean mass index (ALMI), respectively. Physical function was assessed using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and the timed up and go (TUG) ...
Appendicular lean mass index (ALMI)Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)Dual energy-X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)GenotypeIntroduction Mutations in the 79 exons of the dystrophin gene result in muscle wasting and weakness of varying clinical severity, ranging from severe/ty...
Surrogates for muscle mass that could serve as biomarkers for BMD include creatine kinase (CK), serum creatinine (serum Cr), urine creatinine (urine Cr), and appendicular lean mass index (ALMI). Studies have shown that these biomarkers are associated with age- and motor function-related changes...
from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2013 and 2016.Weighted multivariable linear regression models were used to evaluate the association between serum E2 Level and appendicular lean mass index(ALMI).When non-linear associations were found by using weighted generalized additive...
Body composition was obtained by DXA (fat mass index; FMI and appendicular lean mass index; ALMI); LF by spirometry, bodyplethysmography, and airway resistance (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, TLC, RV, RV/TLC, FRCpleth, and Reff). Study sample was separated into FMI and ALMI groups and prevalence...
Lean massPurposeThe purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine how appendicular lean mass index (ALMI), and whole body lean (LMI) and fat mass indices (FMI) associate with estimated bone strength outcomes at the distal radius and tibia in adults aged 40 years and older.Methods...
Therefore, the aim of the current study was to assess the frequency and functional consequences of low appendicular lean mass index (ALMI) and SO in patients with asthma. Methods: A retrospectively analyzed cross-sectional study was conducted in 687 patients with asthma (60% female, 5...
