Beyond Body Mass Index: Appendicular Lean Mass Index‐Defined Sarcopenia and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome—A Cross‐Sectional Analysis

These findings suggest an association between reduced muscle mass and CTS independent of BMI. Muscle mass assessment alongside BMI may help clinicians identify at-risk patients who might otherwise be overlooked by conventional obesity metrics.
