Changes in DXA-derived lean mass and MRI-derived cross-sectional area of the thigh are modestly associated

Abstract Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) derived measures of lean mass demonstrate strong associations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived measures of muscle volume (MV) in cross-sectional studies, however, few studies have compared changes in response to an intervention. The purpos...
