The effects on lean body mass have been shown to be dose-dependent. Both muscle hypertrophy and the formation of new muscle fibers have been observed. The hydration of lean mass remains unaffected by AAS use, although small increments of blood volume cannot be ruled out. [7]
Muscle atrophy from intristic disease in an 18-year-old woman, weight 27 pounds (12.2 kg) Muscle atrophy from intristic disease in a 17-year-old girl with chronic rheumatism. Muscle diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or myositis such as inclusion body myositis can cause muscle atrophy. [13]
A wide variety of body composition measurement methods exist. The gold standard measurement technique for the 4-compartment model consists of a weight measurement, body density measurement using hydrostatic weighing or air displacement plethysmography, total body water calculation using isotope dilution analysis, and mineral content measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).

Intramuscular fat, contained within muscle tissue, increases the risk of serious heart disease, regardless of other risk factors, a new study suggests.
However, lean muscle takes up less space than fat. A higher fat-to-muscle ratio translates to an increased risk of health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and more.
Salk Institute researchers have identified a key protein that may help users of GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy maintain muscle mass while losing weight.
Sarcopenia (ICD-10-CM code M62.84 [1]) is a type of muscle loss that occurs with aging and/or immobility.It is characterized by the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass, quality, and strength.
Lean body mass plus body fat equals body weight. LBM differs from FFM in that cellular membranes are included in LBM although this is only a small percent difference in the body's mass (up to 3% in men and 5% in women) [1] The percentage of total body mass that is lean is usually not quoted – it would typically be 60–90%.
