Abstract
Arm muscle plus bone (M + B) cross-sectional area of the arm estimated from area circumference and skinfold thickness was compared with that estimated from CAT scans. The anthropometric technique overestimated M + B area, and the degree of overestimation varied directly with arm adiposity.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
