Walking Speed and Muscle Mass Estimated by the D-Creatine Dilution Method Are Important Components of Sarcopenia Associated With Incident Mobility Disability in Older Men: A Classification and Regression Tree Analysis3Walking Speed and Muscle Mass Estimat
It is unknown whether muscle mass measured by the D-creatine dilution method is a superior predictor of incident mobility disability than traditional components of sarcopenia definitions (including grip strength, walking speed, appendicular lean mass). The objective of this study was to determine the relat...
