Associations of height‐standardized calf circumference and mid‐arm circumference with overall survival in adults with cancer: A retrospective cohort study
Height-standardized calf and mid-arm circumferences were independently associated with survival and malnutrition in patients with cancer. Although the improvements in predictive performance were modest, height standardization may improve the clinical utility of anthropometric assessments by accounting for differences in body size.
