BACKGROUND & AIMS: There is increasing interest in estimating skeletal muscle mass (SMM) in clinical practice. We aimed to validate a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) prediction equation for SMM, developed in a different healthy elderly population, in a population of hospital patients aged 70 and over, by comparison with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) SMM estimates. Comparison was also made with two other previously published BIA muscle prediction equations.
Muscle measurements by BIA and DXA were compared in 117 patients with a range of clinical conditions (45 female, 72 male, mean age 75 years).
The BIA equation used yielded an accurate estimate of DXA-derived SMM. Mean (SD) difference was 0.26(1.79) kg (ns). The two other BIA equations over-estimated SMM compared to DXA (both p < 0.001), but all equations were highly correlated.
The BIA equation used, developed in a different healthy elderly population, gave an accurate estimate of DXA-derived SMM in a population with various clinical disorders. BIA appears potentially capable to estimate SMM in clinical disorders, but the optimal approach to its use for this purpose requires further investigation.
临床实践中,人们对估算骨骼肌量(SMM)的兴趣日益增加。我们旨在通过与双能 X 射线吸收法(DXA)估算的 SMM 进行比较,验证在另一组健康老年人群中开发的用于估算 SMM 的生物电阻抗分析(BIA)预测方程在 70 岁及以上住院患者人群中的有效性,此外,我们还将该方程与另外两个之前发表的 BIA 肌肉预测方程进行了比较。
比较了 117 例具有不同临床疾病(45 例女性,72 例男性,平均年龄 75 岁)患者的 BIA 和 DXA 肌肉测量值。
所使用的 BIA 方程可以准确估算 DXA 测定的 SMM。平均(SD)差值为 0.26(1.79)kg(无统计学差异)。与 DXA 相比,另外两个 BIA 方程高估了 SMM(均<0.001),但所有方程的相关性均很高。
在具有不同临床疾病的患者人群中,该在另一组健康老年人群中开发的 BIA 方程可以准确估算 DXA 测定的 SMM。BIA 似乎有可能用于估算临床疾病中的 SMM,但需要进一步研究其用于该目的的最佳方法。
