We demonstrate the significance of measuring not only the mass of the muscle, but also its density, as it has a valid association with metabolic parameters, including BMI and lipid level, even in healthy individuals and in the normal range of the tests....
Skeletal muscle mass adjusted by height correlated better with muscular functions than that adjusted by body weight in defining sarcopenia. Sci Rep 2016;6:19457.Han, D.S.; Chang, K.V.; Li, C.M.; Lin, Y.H.; Kao, T.W.; Tsai, K.S.; Wang, T.G.; Yang, W.S. Skeletal muscle ...
Skeletal muscle aging is characterized by the loss of both muscle mass and strength, often leading to sarcopenia4. This is a major contributory factor to falls and fractures in older adults, the second-leading cause of injury and deaths5. During aging, there is a selective decrease in both t...
muscle spindles are the most important proprioceptors [19,20]. Muscle spindles are the most frequently found sense organs in skeletal muscles and present in almost every muscle. The density of muscle spindles within the large muscle mass, however, is low so that they are rather...
Maximal skeletal muscle conductance in the forearm is elicited by activation of maximal muscle massdoi:10.1016/0735-1097(91)91347-HBenjaminD.LevineandJayC.BuckeyandClydeW.SDOSJournal of the American College of Cardiology
Hence, in addition to lumbar areas, muscle-thigh areas also reflect whole-body muscle mass. Accordingly, a single cross-sectional slice at midthigh was correlated with specific muscle volumes (6, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26). However, to assess SM as well as AT, there has been no investigation...

Skeletal muscle mass to visceral fat area ratio is an important determinant associated with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome
Age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass begins during the fourth decade of life and is a leading risk factor for the development of chronic disease and disability. Sedentary lifestyle combined with aging also changes the composition of skeletal muscle as evident by the accumulation of intermuscular...
Significant differences in the BMD, FMI, SMI, mineral content, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass were found among the RA patients in the different BMI groups (p < 0.05). In RA patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, the prevalence of OP in the RA patients with sarcopenia ...
