Highlighted claims
- DEXA is useful for fat and bone but does not directly measure skeletal muscle mass or tissue quality. — Muscle-Centric Longevity, Protein, and Aging
- Muscle quality is presented as just as important as muscle quantity. — Muscle-Centric Longevity, Protein, and Aging
- Lean body mass on a scan does not necessarily show true skeletal muscle or fat infiltration. — Muscle-Centric Longevity, Protein, and Aging
- The article says optimal skeletal muscle mass and quality are hard to define because current tools and standards are limited. — Muscle-Centric Longevity, Protein, and Aging
- MRI or CT may better assess true muscle and intramuscular fat, but they are not routinely used for that purpose in most research or clinical settings. — Muscle-Centric Longevity, Protein, and Aging
