Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard
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 …

It is not just muscle mass: a review of muscle quality, composition and metabolism during ageing as determinants of muscle function and mobility in later life
RA McGregor, D Cameron-Smith, SD Poppitt - Longevity & healthspan, 2014 - Springer
Worldwide estimates predict 2 billion people will be aged over 65 years by 2050. A major
current challenge is maintaining mobility and quality of life into old age. Impaired mobility is …

Muscle thickness correlates to muscle cross‐sectional area in the assessment of strength training‐induced hypertrophy
MV Franchi, S Longo, J Mallinson… - … journal of medicine …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound has been used to estimate cross‐sectional
area (measured by CT and MRI) at a single time point. We tested whether MT could be used …

Age-related change in mobility: perspectives from life course epidemiology and geroscience
Mobility is the most studied and most relevant physical ability affecting quality of life with
strong prognostic value for disability and survival. Natural selection has built the “engine” of …
