Excerpt

There are many types of intervention that can lead to a change in lean body mass including: hormone replacement therapy, aging, menopause, strength training, aerobic exercise, extreme weight loss interventions (gastric bypass surgery), and starvation. Lean body mass is a metabolically active tissue which is involved in several key functions in the body, including: locomotion, basal metabolic rate, and strength. The purpose of this study was to assess the proportionality of changes of regional lean body mass (arms, trunk and legs) before and after intervention. …
