Regression Equation from Dual Energy X Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) for Estimating Muscle Mass Segment

Context Reduced muscle mass is linked to poor outcomes in both inpatients and outpatients, highlighting the importance of muscle mass assessment in clinical practice. However, laboratory methods to assess muscle mass are not yet feasible for routine use in clinical practice because of limited availability and high costs. Objective This work aims to review the literature on muscle mass prediction by anthropometric equations in adults or older people. Data Sources The following databases were searched for observational studies published until June 2022: MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Data Extraction Of 6437 articles initially identified, 63 met the inclusion criteria for this review. Four independent reviewers, working in pairs, selected and extracted data from those articles. Data Analysis Two studies reported new equations for prediction of skeletal muscle mass: 10 equations for free-fat mass and lean soft tissue, 22 for appendicular lean mass, 7 for upper-body muscle mass, and 7 for lower-body muscle mass. Twenty-one studies validated previously proposed equations. This systematic review shows there are numerous equations in the literature for muscle mass prediction, and most are validated for healthy adults. However, many equations were not always accurate and validated in all groups, especially people with obesity, undernourished people, and older people. Moreover, in some studies, it was unclear if fat-free mass or lean soft tissue had been assessed because of an imprecise description of muscle mass terminology. Conclusion This systematic review identified several feasible, practical, and low-cost equations for muscle mass prediction, some of which have excellent accuracy in healthy adults, older people, women, and athletes. Malnourished individuals and people with obesity were understudied in the literature, as were older people, for whom there are only equations for appendicular lean mass. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO registration number CRD42021257200.

1 ResumenLas características antropométricas y fisiológicas en el fútbol según posición de juego se han estudiado con el objetivo de medir su relevancia en la competición. Sin embargo, la comparación de métodos de composición corporal es poco conocida en jugadores de fútbol costarricense. Propósito: comparar la composición corporal mediante el uso de la absorciometría dual por rayos X (DEXA) y el método de pliegues cutáneos en futbolistas profesionales costarricenses. Métodos: 106 futbolistas con edad promedio de 24.53 ± 4.77 años participaron en el estudio. Resultados: el porcentaje de grasa fue 13.34 ± 4.1 %, el peso magro 62.1 ± 5.5 kg y el contenido mineral óseo fue de 3.6 ± 0.4 g/cm2 obtenido mediante el DEXA y el porcentaje de grasa obtenido por pliegues cutáneos fue 12.58 ± 3.0 %. Al comparar los porcentajes de grasa obtenidos por ambos métodos se registraron diferencias significativas (p = 0,005). Además se encontró diferencias en el peso magro por extremidades, siendo mayor en la lateralidad derecha tanto en extremidades superiores (p = 0.001) como inferiores (p = 0.037). El análisis por posición de juego mostró diferencias a nivel de brazos (p <0.05). Hubo una alta correlación positiva (r = 0.75; p < 0.001) entre el porcentaje de grasa medido por DEXA y por pliegues cutáneos. Conclusión: Al comparar los porcentajes de grasa mediante ambos métodos se registraron diferencias significativas. La grasa corporal obtenida por ambos métodos mostró una alta asociación, por lo tanto ambas técnicas pueden ser utilizadas en esta población.
