Les outils les plus fréquemment utilisés dans la littérature pour estimer la réduction de la masse musculaire sont la DEXA [absorptiométrie à rayons X en double énergie] et l'impédancemétrie. D'autres techniques sont validées pour mesurer la masse musculaire [...] mais les seuils restent à définir dans la population âgée.

WC [waist circumference] and calf circumference (CC) are simple and non-invasive measures that have been proposed as markers of adiposity and muscle mass, respectively, and have been used to assess frailty ... The waist-calf circumference ratio (WCR) is [an] index that combines both measures, serving as an effective method for evaluating the imbalance between abdominal fat and leg muscle mass. WCR has been proposed as a reliable predictor of cognitive impairment ..., carotid atherosclerosis ..., and health-related quality of life ..., and has been shown to be a superior predictor of health outcomes compared to BMI [body mass index], WC, or CC alone. 3, record 2, English, - waist%2Dcalf%20circumference%20ratio
