Is XXXX associated with increased muscle mass or adiposity?

@entity1 @entity2086 @entity5 @entity1017 @entity1062 @entity130
INTRODUCTION: The correlation between an increased body mass index and @entity5 has been a topical subject matter of literature. The thesis examines whether for @entity1 with @entity5 of the @entity1062 the relation between the body cross section and the muscle mass at a particular spot at the abdomen is dislocated toward @entity2086 . @entity1 , MATERIALS, AND METHODS: CT examinations of 120 @entity1 with @entity5 have been compared to CTs of 60 @entity130 surgery @entity1 . MEASUREMENTS: In thickness of the layer at the lowest point of the umbilicus the area of the total body cross section and the Mm. psoas majores were determined and their quotient was calculated. Furthermore, the thickness of the M. rectus abdominis and the Mm. obliquii abdominis have been determined at the broadest spot. RESULTS: The reproducibility of the measured data has been extremely high (kappa >0.9). There has been no significant difference in any of the examined parameters between the comparison group and the total @entity1 group. DISCUSSION: According to the literature, @entity1 with @entity5 of the @entity1062 on average show a higher body-mass-index (BMI) compared to a comparable group of equivalent age. The height of the umbilicus is a body region, where for adipose @entity1 the amplitude increases markedly, hence for reference measurement appropriate. On the basis of the outcome of this thesis, the most probable explanation for the BMI rise is @entity1017 at other body parts.
