Question in the title, detail here: how much of what we believe about DEXA actually comes from sarcopenia threads. Some lean mass loss accompanies weight loss in any deficit. Resistance training and adequate protein intake are the two interventions with the best evidence for limiting the proportion. Fat-free mass…
