Abstract Background in 2010, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People
(EWGSOP) published a sarcopenia definition that aimed to foster advances in identifying …

The lack of standardization of BIA use for assessing muscularity results in a wide range of
sarcopenia prevalence rates among studies, even when conducted in the same population …

Background Methods that facilitate muscle quality measurement may improve the diagnosis
of sarcopenia. Current research has focused on the phase angle (PhA) obtained through …

Background A sarcopenia diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of low muscle quantity or
quality under the 2018 revised definition by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in …

We evaluate the accuracy of whole body muscle mass (WBMM) and appendicular skeletal
muscle mass (ASMM) assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) using an …

Background There is an increasingly strong association between sarcopenia and
malnutrition in research findings. We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors …

Background & aims Computed tomographic (CT) imaging at third lumbar vertebra (L3),
routinely used by oncologists, represents a reliable tool to quantify muscle mass. A …

Aim To re‐evaluate the suitability of calf circumference as a surrogate marker of low muscle
mass measured by both bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual‐energy X‐ray …

Objective Obesity is a challenge for bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) estimations of
skeletal muscle and fat mass (FM), and none of the equations used for appendicular lean …

Background & aims This systematic review aims to systematically assess and summarize the
equation models developed to estimate muscle mass with bioelectric impedance analysis …
