ABSTRACT. Background: Ambulation, balance, and lower extremity bone mass and strength are all partially dependent on lower limb skeletal muscle mass. At present, both research and clinical methods of evaluating lower limb skeletal muscle mass as a component of nutrition assessment are limited. One potential simple and inexpensive method is lower extremity bioimpedance analysis (BIA). The present study had two ...
