Therapeutic goals for HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy include
minimizing risk of future physical disability. Presarcopenia and sarcopenia precede age …

We are expected to live longer than if we had been born 100 years ago however, the
additional years are not necessarily spent in good health or free from disability. Body …

The relationships between body composition and bone mineral density are well established
but the contribution of body composition to the risk of fracture (Fx) has rarely been evaluated …

More than one-third of adults in the USA are obese and obesity-related disease accounts for
some of the leading causes of preventable death. Mid-life obesity may be a strong predictor …

Muscle and bone are two intricately-related tissue types; however, factors such as sex,
maturation, study design, and outcome measures studied can modify this relationship …
