Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis are Beneficial Tools for Measuring the Trunk Muscle Mass of Patients with Low Back Pain

Introduction: Limb muscle mass measurement using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Moreover, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is also recognized as a beneficial tool considering its high correlation with DXA. However, it rem...
