Compositional Data Analysis of Relative Body Mass and Physical Function Using the Relative Shift Approach

ABSTRACT Objective The purpose of this study was to present the novel relative shift approach for compositional data analysis of body composition as a predictor for gait speed and to compare it to existing methods. Methods Body composition was quantified from dual‐energy x‐ray ab...

Greater D3-Creatine Muscle Mass and MRI Thigh Muscle Volume are Associated with Higher Bone Strength in Older Adults: Exploratory Findings in The Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA)

Abstract Low bone mineral density (BMD) and impaired bone strength are established risk factors for fractures in older adults. Decreased muscle size also contributes to fracture risk, however, the relationship between muscle size and bone density, microarchitecture, and strength...
