Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) can be used for muscle and fat area and density assessments. These may independently influence muscle and fat mass measurements from Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA).
To determine associations between pQCT-derived soft tissue density and area measures and DXA-derived soft tissue mass.
Linear regression models were developed based on BMI and calf fat and muscle cross-sectional area (FCSA and MCSA) and density measured by pQCT in healthy women (n=76) and men (n=82) aged 20-59 years. Independent variables for these models were leg and total bone-free lean mass (BFLM) and fat mass (FM) measured by DXA.
Sex differences (p<0.01) were found in both muscle (Mean±SE: Women: 78.6±0.4; Men: 79.9±0.2 mg/cm(3)) and fat (Women: 0.8±0.4 Men: 9.1±0.6 mg/cm(3)) density. BMI, fat density, and age (R(2)=0.86, p<0.01) best accounted for the variability in total FM. FCSA, BMI, and fat density explained the variance in leg FM (R(2)=0.87, p<0.01). MCSA and muscle density explained the variance in total (R(2)=0.65, p<0.01) and leg BFLM (R(2)=0.70, p<0.01).
Calf muscle and fat area and density independently predict lean and fat tissue mass.
外周定量计算机断层扫描(pQCT)可用于肌肉和脂肪面积及密度评估。这些因素可能独立影响双能X线吸收法(DXA)测量的肌肉和脂肪量。
确定pQCT衍生的软组织密度和面积测量值与DXA衍生的软组织量之间的关联。
基于20 - 59岁健康女性(n = 76)和男性(n = 82)的BMI、小腿脂肪和肌肉横截面积(FCSA和MCSA)以及通过pQCT测量的密度,建立线性回归模型。这些模型的自变量是通过DXA测量的腿部和全身无骨瘦体重(BFLM)以及脂肪量(FM)。
在肌肉(平均值±标准误:女性:78.6±0.4;男性:79.9±0.2 mg/cm³)和脂肪(女性:0.8±0.4;男性:9.1±0.6 mg/cm³)密度方面均发现了性别差异(p < 0.01)。BMI、脂肪密度和年龄(R² = 0.86,p < 0.01)最能解释总FM的变异性。FCSA、BMI和脂肪密度解释了腿部FM的方差(R² = 0.87,p < 0.01)。MCSA和肌肉密度解释了总BFLM(R² = 0.65,p < 0.01)和腿部BFLM(R² = 0.70,p < 0.01)的方差。
小腿肌肉和脂肪面积及密度可独立预测瘦组织和脂肪组织量。
