Total body and appendicular lean mass by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry are highly associated with muscle function and bone mineral density in Becker muscular dystrophy
Introduction Becker muscular dystrophy (Becker) is an X-linked disorder caused by decreased or dysfunctional dystrophin. Data on Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived body composition and the skeletal phenotype are limited. We evaluated associations between DXA-derived height-adjusted body composition and moto...
