Taiwan3,304 participantsStarted 2019-01-21

Plain-language summary

The first lumbar spine muscle index (L1 MI) on computed tomography (CT) obtained by measuring muscle surface at the first lumbar vertebrae (L1) level is an indicator of total skeletal mass in specific populations. Nevertheless, the utility of L1 MI derived from low dose chest CT (LDCT) in health assessments and relevant cutoff points are unclear.
