Muscle mass is only part of the story. This co-authored study of 2,177 individuals demonstrates that tissue functional quality plays a distinct, independent role in overall physical performance.
Key Takeaways:
The Phase Angle Metric: Evaluates cell membrane integrity and fluid balance using rapid bioimpedance screening.
Independent Factor: Higher tissue quality scores link to better functional fitness, regardless of total muscle mass.
Adjunct Tracking: Offers a scalable, field-ready tool to complement standard body composition testing.
