Trunk-to-leg volume and appendicular lean mass from a commercial 3-dimensional optical body scanner for disease risk identification.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Body shape expressed as the trunk-to-leg volume ratio is associated with diabetes and mortality due to the associations between higher adiposity and lower lean mass with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) risk. Reduced appendicular muscle mass is associated with malnutrition risk and age-related frailty, and is a risk factor for poor treatment outcomes related to MetS and other clinical conditions (e.g.; cancer). These measures are traditionally assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which can be difficult to access in clinical settings. The Shape Up! Adults trial (SUA) demonstrated the accuracy and precision of 3-dimensional optical imaging (3DO) for body composition as compared to DXA and other criterion measures. Here we assessed whether trunk-to-leg volume
