Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018 However, semantics aside, we think that DXA can indeed serve as a reference standard for measuring muscle mass. Obviously, CT and MRI are advanced techniques that can and have been used to obtain important information such as muscle size/volume and more ...

Genetic Variant in ACVR2B Is Associated with Lean Mass [PDF]
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2016 Low lean mass (LM) is a risk factor for chronic disease, a major cause of disability and diminished quality of life, and is a heritable trait. However, relatively few specific genetic factors have been identified as potentially influencing this trait.In this study, we selected 1493 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 155 candidate genes involved ...

Nutrients, 2021 Creatine supplementation in conjunction with resistance training (RT) augments gains in lean tissue mass and strength in aging adults; however, there is a large amount of heterogeneity between individual studies that may be related to creatine ingestion ...

Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018 Background All proposed definitions of sarcopenia include the measurement of muscle mass, but the techniques and threshold values used vary. Indeed, the literature does not establish consensus on the best technique for measuring lean body mass. Thus, the

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2020 Background Muscle mass declines with age. However, common assessments used to quantify muscle mass are indirect. The D3‐creatine (D3Cr) dilution method is a direct assessment of muscle mass; however, longitudinal changes have not been examined in ...

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2019 Despite no international consensus on the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia, low lean mass, muscle strength, and physical function are important risk factors for disability, frailty, and mortality in older individuals, as well as in a wide range of ...

Four pleiotropic loci associated with fat mass and lean mass
International Journal of Obesity, 2020 Fat mass and lean mass are two biggest components of body mass. Both fat mass and lean mass are under strong genetic determinants and are correlated.We performed a bivariate genome-wide association meta-analysis of (lean adjusted) leg fat mass and (fat adjusted) leg lean mass in 12,517 subjects from 6 samples, and followed by in silico replication in ...

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2019 BACKGROUND Lack of consensus on how to diagnose sarcopenia has limited the ability to diagnose this condition and hindered drug development. The Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) was formed to develop evidence-based diagnostic cut ...

Heliyon, 2017 Background: To test the hypothesis that preserved muscle mass is protective against obesity-associated insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities, we analyzed the relationship of lean body mass and computed tomography-assessed sectional areas of ...
