3D Body Scanning–Derived Normative Values of Appendicular Circumferences: A Novel Tool for Sarcopenia Screening in Chinese Adults
This study establishes the first age- and sex-stratified percentile references for ACs in Chinese adults. These results reveal significant sex disparities in absolute and BMI-adjusted measures, providing essential tools for sarcopenia screening, lifestyle intervention evaluation and high-risk population identification.
