Effects of Nandrolone Decanoate on Muscle Strength, Body Composition and Bone Density: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle
ABSTRACT Background Despite ongoing interest in anabolic therapies for sarcopenia and cachexia, pharmacological interventions are being developed to counteract age‐ and condition‐related losses of muscle mass and strength. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the effect of nandrolone decanoate on lean soft tissue (LST), fat mass, handgrip

Reference Methods for Measuring Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Critical Perspective. [PDF]

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle (SM) is an integral organ component in the pathophysiology of many acute and chronic diseases. But is there a ‘gold’ standard or accepted reference method for quantifying the amount and composition of human SM mass? Exploring that question led us to recognize the existence of a SM measurement paradigm that divides methods into ...

A simple equation to estimate body fat percentage in children with overweightness or obesity: a retrospective study [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides separate measurements of fat mass, fat-free mass and bone mass, and is a quick, accurate, and safe technique, yet one that is not readily available in routine clinical practice.

Novel lateral whole‐body dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry of lumbar paraspinal muscle mass: results from the SarcoSpine study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2021
Background Here, we aimed to propose novel lateral whole‐body dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (lateral DXA) as a simple tool for measuring spinal muscle mass and investigate the feasibility of lateral DXA to measure lumbar paraspinal muscle (LPM) mass ...

Concurrent validity of five prediction equations to evaluate fat percentage in a sports group expected to yield high performance from Medellín, Colombia

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2021
Introduction: No equations to predict the body composition of athletes from Medellín expected to have high performance have been constructed and, thus, decisions regarding their training and nutrition plans lack support.
