Abstract:Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a pervasive public health concern, can lead to complications like sarcopenia and reduced bone mineral density (BMD). However, it is still unclear exactly how muscle mass correlates with BMD in youngsters and adolescents with CKD. We aimed to investigate the association between appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) and BMD among children and adolescents with CKD. In our research, we utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected betwe… Show more
