Correlation of body composition and anthropometric indices with electrodiagnostic and ultrasonographic findings in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome
Our study showed that among the body composition indexes, the body fat mass, as an indicator of the body fat distribution, and total ECW ratio are associated with the incidence of CTS while not its severity. Higher body weight, BMI, fat mass, total ECW ratio, median nerve CSA and wrist diameters increase the risk of CTS. Higher median nerve CSA is also associated with the higher severity of CTS.
