Body mass-to-waist ratio strongly correlates with skeletal muscle volume in children

PURPOSE: We hypothesized that body mass-to-waist ratio is strongly associated with the total-body skeletal muscle volume (SMV) in children. The purpose of the present study was to examine this hypothesis. METHODS: By using magnetic resonance imaging, total-body SMV (SMV(MRI)) was determined in 70 bo...
