Body mass-to-waist ratio strongly correlates with skeletal muscle volume in children.
We hypothesized that body mass-to-waist ratio is strongly associated with the total-body skeletal muscle volume (SMV) in children. The purpose of the present study was to examine this hypothesis.By using magnetic resonance imaging, total-body SMV (SMVMRI) was determined in 70 boys and 53 girls aged...
