- Invited review: Aging and sarcopenia. (2003, methodology): “The mechanisms leading to greater losses of muscle mass with aging in men compared with women are unknown but have been postulated to relate to hormonal factors, including growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor, and testosterone (61).”
- Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard (2018, neutral): “Skeletal muscle mass is the largest component of adipose tissue–free body mass in humans.(24) Lean mass also known as lean body mass is a fat-free and bone mineral–free component that includes muscle and other components such as skin, tendons, and connective tissues (Figure 2).”
- Longitudinal muscle strength changes in older adults: influence of muscle mass, physical activity, and health. (2001, background): “Muscle distribution differs between men and women such that women have a smaller percentage of muscle in their arms (28); therefore, they have less to lose and the potential to gain more muscle.”
- Aging of the human neuromuscular system (2002, background): “However, other nerve and muscle cells that were present at maturation will have since disappeared, leaving a reduced reserve; the extent of this reduction depends on the location in the body, age, and presence of disease.(6,44) Indeed, the existence of neuronal loss can be subtle and generally well-”
- Sarcopenia: Its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives (2008, background): “recently reported that a loss of muscle mass was greater in the legs than the arms (242), but the loss of muscle quality in elderly seems more significant in arms for men compared to women whereas loss of muscle quality in the leg seems similar in men and women (243).”
