Population-Based Prediction Equations for Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Three-Phase Validation Study in 13 582 Asian Adults.
New equations can help clinicians estimate muscle mass in Asian populations, potentially improving diagnosis of age-related weakness.
This PubMed record reports that our three-phase investigation has established and validated the first population-based prediction equations for ASM estimation in Asian populations. It provides phase i clinical trial evidence relevant to Aging, longevity, and population health.
