Validation of a bioelectrical impedance analysis equation to predict appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM)
Abstract
Rationale Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) is useful in the evaluation of nutritional status because it reflects the body muscle protein mass. The purpose of this study was to validate, against dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), a BIA equation to predict ASMM to be used in volunteers and patients. Method Healthy men (n = 246 men, BMI 25.3+/-2.9 kg/m(2)) and women (n =198, 24.1+/-3.6 kg/m(2)), and heart, lung and liver transplant patients (213 men, BMI of 24.6+/-4.4 kg/m(2); 113 women, BMI 23.0+/-5.2 kg/m(2)) were measured by BIA (Xitron Technologies) and DEXA (Hologic QDR 4500). A BIA equation to predict ASMM (kg) that included height(2)/resistance, weight, gender, age and reactance, was developed by means of multiple regressions. [table: see text] Mean difference (Bland-Altman) for volunteers was 0.1+/-1.1 kg, r =0.95, SEE 1.12 kg and for patients -0.4+/-1.5 kg, r =0.91, SEE 1.5 kg. Best fitted multiple regression equation was -4.211 + (0.267 x height2 / resistance) + (0.095 x weight)+(1.909 x sex (men = 1, women = 0)) + (-0.012 x age) + (0.058 x reactance). Conclusions BIA permits the prediction of ASMM in healthy volunteers and patients between 22 and 94 years of age. A slightly larger, though clinically not significant, error was noted in patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
