Estimation of whole‐body skeletal muscle volume using pectoralis muscle area and anthropometric measurements from chest CT in a Korean population
WBM can be reliably estimated using PMA measured in a single chest-CT slice and basic body measurements (age, height, weight, and waist circumference). This method offers a practical and efficient surrogate for muscle assessment based on routinely acquired chest CT images.
