| Research Abstract |
Skeletal muscle is important organ for not only strength exertion, but also metabolism. Thus, it is essential to maintain or improve quantity and quality of skeletal muscle in the elderly. The purpose of the present study is to estimate muscle composition using segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (S-BIS). S-BIS could be used to estimate muscle cell mass and correlated with muscle strength in lower limb more strongly than muscle volume estimated by imaging methods. The index is decreasing with aging, and thus, would assess the muscle cell atrophy.
