Measurement of skeletal muscle radiation attenuation and basis of its biological variation (2014, background): “Research Innovation, University of”
Dynapenia and aging: an update. (2012, background): “The causes of this reduction are yet to determined, but several studies have noted age-related changes in the excitation–contraction coupling processes (105– 108) and an association with adipocyte infiltration (109,110).”
The loss of skeletal muscle strength, mass, and quality in older adults: the health, aging and body composition study. (2006, methodology): “Strength Assessments Isokinetic knee extensor strength was measured (KinCom dynamometer, 125 AP; Chattanooga, TN) as described previously (20).”
Sarcopenia: Its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives (2008, background): “Fatty infiltration of skeletal muscle is associated with reduced strength (64, 164) and functional status (165), and it is hypothesized that infiltratoin affects muscle function (164).”
Decreased Muscle Strength and Quality in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes (2006, background): “We have previously reported that skeletal muscle attenuation coefficient determined by computerized tomography was lower with increasing BMI, and it was independently associated with muscle strength and quality (22).”
Longitudinal study of muscle strength, quality, and adipose tissue infiltration. (2009, background): “We reported previously that lower attenuation values of muscle on computed tomography (CT), a marker of greater muscle fat content (5) are associated with lower muscle strength and muscle quality (MQ) (ie, lower strength per muscle size) (6).”
Sarcopenia: an undiagnosed condition in older adults. Current consensus definition: prevalence, etiology, and consequences. International working group on sarcopenia. (2011, background): “Increased skeletal muscle lipid, assessed by computerized tomography, is increased with advancing age and increased total body fatness (65).”
Strength, but not muscle mass, is associated with mortality in the health, aging and body composition study cohort. (2006, methodology): “Analyses of the lower extremities were repeated using cross-sectional muscle and fat areas of the mid-thigh assessed by CT scan (in Pittsburgh: 9800 Advantage, General Electric, Milwaukee, WI; in Memphis: Somatom Plus 4, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany, and PQ 2000S, Marconi Medical Systems, Cleveland, O”
Sarcopenia: etiology, clinical consequences, intervention, and assessment (2009, background): “Another property of great interest to the study of sarcopenia is the mean attenuation coefficient [23, 117–119], which is computed within all of the muscle regions after a threshold is applied to exclude depots of fat embedded within each muscle group.”
Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study: multidisciplinary applied phenomics. (2007, background): “Use of imaging in epidemiologic studies has been an effective way to understand subclinical disease, particularly in the fields of osteoporosis (15), atherosclerosis (16), brain structure (17), and body composition (18).”
Sarcopenia, intramuscular fat deposition, and visceral adiposity independently predict the outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma. (2015, background): “Low MA indicates IMF deposition, which contributes to muscle weakness independent of the age-associated loss in muscle mass [23].”
