متن کاملLow Mid-Upper Arm Circumference, Calf Circumference, and Body Mass Index and Mortality in Older Persons
BACKGROUND Low body mass index is a general measure of thinness. However, its measurement can be cumbersome in older persons and other simple anthropometric measures may be more strongly associated with mortality. Therefore, associations of low mid-upper arm circumference, calf circumference, and body mass index with mortality were examined in older persons. METHODS Data of the Longitudinal A...
