Association among measurements obtained using portable ultrasonography with sex, body mass index, and age in a large sample of adult population
This study is the first to report the mean values of SAT-related quantitative and qualitative measurements (thickness and EG) in various body sites assessed through ultrasound and their associations with sex, BMI, and age in a large cohort. These findings could prove valuable in clinical practice for precise monitoring of nutritional and/or training interventions, as well as for a more comprehensive evaluation of nutritional status.
