Skeletal muscle mass in prepubertal Asian children has not been examined previously. The aims of this study were to test the hypotheses that 1) prepubertal Asians have less appendicular skeletal muscle (ASM) mass compared with African-Americans and Caucasians, and 2) ASM is less in prepubertal Asian girls compared with Asian boys. ASM was estimated by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in healthy prepubertal girls ( n = 170) and boys ( n= 166). The results showed that, after adjusting for age, height, and body weight, 1) Asian girls and boys had less amounts of ASM than African-Americans ( P < 0.001); 2) Asian girls had less amounts of ASM than Caucasian girls ( P = 0.004); 3) there was a trend towards less ASM in Asian compared with Caucasian boys ( P = 0.07); 4) and Asian girls had significantly less ASM than Asian boys ( P < 0.001). This study indicates that skeletal muscle mass as a fraction of body weight is smaller in Asian compared with African-American and Caucasian children.

Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can accurately measure lower limb skeletal muscle (SM) mass, this method is complex and costly. A potential practical alternative is to estimate lower limb SM with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The aim of the present study was to develop and validate DXA-SM prediction equations. Identical landmarks (i.e., inferior border of the ischial tuberosity) were selected for separating lower limb from trunk. Lower limb SM was measured by MRI, and lower limb fat-free soft tissue was measured by DXA. A total of 207 adults (104 men and 103 women) were evaluated [age 43 ± 16 (SD) yr, body mass index (BMI) 24.6 ± 3.7 kg/m2]. Strong correlations were observed between lower limb SM and lower limb fat-free soft tissue ( R 2 = 0.89, P < 0.001); age and BMI were small but significant SM predictor variables. In the cross-validation sample, the differences between MRI-measured and DXA-predicted SM mass were small (−0.006 ± 1.07 and −0.016 ± 1.05 kg) for two different proposed prediction equations, one with fat-free soft tissue and the other with added age and BMI as predictor variables. DXA-measured lower limb fat-free soft tissue, along with other easily acquired measures, can be used to reliably predict lower limb skeletal muscle mass.

Skeletal Muscle Mass Index

Abstract Objective The current study evaluated the performance of psoas muscle mass measurement for detecting low skeletal muscle mass quantity. Methods A sample of 82 consecutive patients with gynecological cancers was examined using computed tomography and dual energy X-ray absorptiometric scan before treatment. Skeletal muscle mass index was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometric scan and its cut-off value was set at 5.40 kg/m2 for detecting low skeletal muscle mass. Psoas muscle mass index was manually measured with cross-sectional computed tomography imaging at the level of L3 by six evaluators. Results Low skeletal muscle mass index was identified in 23 (28.0%) patients. Two-way analysis of variance confirmed a significant main effect of skeletal muscle mass index on mean psoas muscle mass index values (P &lt; 0.0001). A receiver operating characteristic curve obtained from a total of 492 psoas muscle mass index data points gathered from six evaluators produced an area under the curve value of 0.697 (95% confidence interval 0.649–0.744) and a cut-off value of 3.52 cm2/m2, with sensitivity of 79.0% and specificity of 59.6%. Using the cut-off value, the kappa coefficient for evaluating diagnostic agreement between skeletal muscle mass index (low vs. normal) and psoas muscle mass index (low vs. normal) was 0.308 (95% confidence interval 0.225–0.392), suggesting poor agreement. Fleiss’ kappa produced a coefficient of 0.418 (95% confidence interval 0.362–0.473), suggesting moderate agreement. Conclusions Although relevance between skeletal muscle mass index and psoas muscle mass index was confirmed, intensity of relevance between them was weak. Psoas muscle mass index measurement should be subordinated to skeletal muscle mass index measurement for detection of low skeletal muscle mass.
