Measuring Appendicular Lean Muscle Mass

Find Similar Protocols

Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA; Lunar Prodigy Advance fan beam scanner, GE Medical Systems, Madison, WI, USA, Prodigy enCORE software version 16.10.151). Appendicular lean muscle mass (the sum of the lean mass in arms and legs/height, kg/m²) of less than 1.5 SD from the mean in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study (NHANES) was classified as low lean muscle mass [22 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
