| Description: | There is an increasing need of accurate data on measuring muscle mass due to the continuously growing interest in sarcopenia [1,2], however current methods used in this purpose are still not entirely available neither in clinical nor in epidemiological studies [3]. A recent study approached this problem by validating a formula using simple demographic and anthropometric measurements in comparison to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a wide population with valid results [4]. The aim of this research letter is to test external validity of this formula in a group of Mexican older adults when compared to appendicular muscle mass derived from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). |
