The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors, develop, and assess the predictive nomogram for low appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) in middle-aged and elderly populations. A total of 3,209
After controlling for confounders such as age, energy intake, and BMI a significant interaction was found for appendicular skeletal muscle mass (β = −1.65, P = 0.04) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (β = −0.38, P = 0.07) on the NOVA classification system and GRS. Conclusio...
Objective: A study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between CC and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), and the ASM index (ASMI), as well as to determine whether CC could be used to diagnose sarcopenia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 247 older black women ...
FIGURE 2. Adjusted mean (± SEM) values for relative appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (RASM) according to level of physical activity at work (A) or current time spent per week on leisure-time physical activity (B) in 845 men aged 45–85 y who belonged to the MINOS cohort. After...
Qinzhong Zhu1* Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate whether the low appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) is closely associated with the risk of carotid artery plaque (CAP) in postmenopausal women with and without hypertension/ hyperglycemia stratified by body mass index (BMI...
RSMI: relative skeletal muscle index. SpA: spondyloarthritis. TNF: tumor necrosis factor. 3.2. Body Composition There was no significant group difference in bone mineral density (BMD), BMD T-score, total LBM, total body fat%, android fat%, or gynoid fat%. Appendicular lean mass (RSMI) was...

Appendicular lean mass (ALM), measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), is associated with mobility, bone mineral density (BMD), and metabolic function1,2,3,4. With aging, there is a loss of skeletal muscle mass, and a concurrent increase...
Low muscle mass was defined using sex-specific thresholds of the appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI). The telomere-to-single-copy gene ratio (T/S ratio) was converted to base pairs. Generalized linear models were performed to evaluate the association of ASMI with telomere length. ...
Skeletal muscle mass status classification Due to the absence of a widely accepted DXA-based definition of low muscle mass index, we used the z score less than or equal to −2.0 as the cutoff value to define low LMItot and LMIapp. Classification of the severity of CP The Gross Motor Fu...
