Skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength in relation to lower-extremity performance in older men and women
Article Abstract:
A cross-sectional population-based study has been carried out in Amsterdam in 449 men and women aged 65 and older to investigate skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength relative to lower-extremity performance in older people. It appears that low muscle strength, but not low muscle mass, is associated with poor physical function in the elderly.
