Abstract
Background “Gold standard” methods for muscle mass (MM) assessment are expensive and difficult to use in clinical practice. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between easy-to-apply and low-cost indicators of MM and clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients. Methods In this cohort study, calf circumference [CC], adductor pollicis muscle thickness [APMT], midarm muscle circumference [MAMC], and arm muscle area [AMA] were measured...
