Opportunistic muscle density assay during CT lung cancer screening for low muscle quality evaluation in older adults: a multicenter study
Muscle density decreases with age. The muscle attenuation of 32 HU for women and 37 HU for men, an M/S of 0.65 for women and 0.75 for men, may be used to define low muscle density.
