Association of height with limb muscle mass in individuals in the LACE study.
muscle mass
Height was compared with limb muscle mass in males and females from the LACE study. In both males (r = 0.57 p<0.001) and females (r = 0.61, p<0.001) there was a strong association of leg muscle mass with height. Arm muscle mass was also associated with height in both males (r = 0.51, p<0.001) and females (r = 0.52, p<0.001).After correction for height, arm fat mass remained significantly higher in AA/AG males than in GG males (mean
