Cut-off values for the muscle mass indices determined using DXA in healthy Polish adults - a comparison to EWGSOP2 recommendation.
Article in Aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMuscle mass measurements are vital for predicting health outcomes and diagnosing muscle disorders. This study provides reference data for appendicular lean mass (ALM) and total lean mass (TLM) in healthy Polish adults with normal muscle strength and physical performance as per EWGSOP2 guidelines.
methodsThe study included healthy volunteers with normal muscle strength and functional status. Lean mass was measured using Hologic Horizon DXA. Mean values of TLM, ALM, fat-free mass (FFM), and indices (TLMI, ALMI, FFMI) were calculated for seven age groups (by decade). Cut-off points equivalent to T-scores of -1 and -2 standard deviations (SDs) below the young adult reference mean (ages 20-39) were determined.
resultsData from 1,111 participants (328 men, 46.3 ± 20 years; 783 women, 43.7 ± 23 years) were analyzed. In young adults, mean ALM was 28.1 kg (men) and 17.2 kg (women), and ALMI was 8.6 kg/m
conclusionsThis study provides the first population-based reference values for ALM and TLM in healthy Polish adults aged 20-89 years, integrating criteria for normal muscle strength and physical performance.
