Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a critical organ influencing prognosis and overall health; however, the direct measurements of muscle mass are not easily attainable. This study aimed to estimate whole‐body skeletal muscle volume (WBM) using pectoralis muscle area (PMA) derived from a single chest‐CT slice and basic anthropometric data in a Korean population.
