Abstract
To investigate the impact of eliminating fat-free adipose tissue (aFFAT) on the prevalence of low muscle mass in older adults. Three hundred and forty-three (153 men and 190 women) well-functioning Japanese older adults (aged 65–79) had their appendicular lean mass (aLM) and appendicular fat mass (aFM) measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). aFFAT was then estimated from DXA-derived aFM (aFM = (FM/0.15)*0.85). Both traditional...
