| Research Abstract |
There is limited information about total and regional skeletal muscle mass in children. Under these conditions, MRI data, which was the gold standard for measuring skeletal muscle mass, was obtained for over 150 children. Moreover, we have developed prediction equations for estimating total and regional fat mass using the hand-held skinfold caliper and B-mode ultrasound in Japanese prepubertal children as a preliminary step for developing skeletal muscle mass prediction equations.
