Anthropometric equations to estimate the thigh muscle cross-sectional area by magnetic resonance imaging in young men

It is difficult to establish the best anthropometric equation to estimate muscle cross-sectional area (CSA). The aim of this study was to determine the best anthropometric equation to estimate thigh muscle/lean CSA by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in young men. Forty-four adult men underwent MRI...

Description
Summary:It is difficult to establish the best anthropometric equation to estimate muscle cross-sectional area (CSA). The aim of this study was to determine the best anthropometric equation to estimate thigh muscle/lean CSA by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in young men. Forty-four adult men underwent MRI to determine the thigh lean and muscle CSA, as well as circumference and skinfold assessment. Five anthropometric equations were solved and statistically compared with MRI. Mean values of anthropometric equations were different from the mean values of MRI (P
