Figure 1A,B shows the association between the ALM estimated by the previous BIA equation (seemethods section) and the ALM obtained by DXA. The determinant coefficients were just moderate(R 2 = 0.49 and 0.44 for men and women, respectively). Figure 1C,D shows the correlation between ageand the residual of the ALM obtained by DXA and the ALM estimated by the previous BIA equation.The residual significantly correlated with age, and the previous BIA equation underestimated ALM inyoung adults. Thus, the previous equation cannot be used to examine age-related ALM loss.
