이중에너지 흡수계측법을 이용한 한국 성인의 성별, 연령별에 따른 근육량 및 근육 분포의 변화 : The Change of Muscle Mass and Distribution by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry According to Age and Gender in Korean Adults

The Change of Muscle Mass and Distribution by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry According to Age and Gender in Korean Adults

초록/요약

This purpose of this study was to examine the influence of age and gender on whole and body regional muscle mass and distribution using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA). The subjects consisted of healthy adult men and women who had participated in body composition studies at Korea University. The subjects varied in age(20~73 yr) and body mass index(15.6~42.5). None of the subjects was taking medications known to affect the study variables. They were divided three groups according to age. The major findings in this study were summarized as follows: 1. Whole and body regional muscle mass in men was greater than in women. 2. The arm muscle mass and distribution in men was greater than in women. 3. The muscle mass in the arms and legs were decreased with age, but the trunk muscle mass was increased with age in both group. 4. The loss of muscle mass was significantly different with age among groups, arm muscle mass were decreased in men and leg muscle mass were decreased in women.
