Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight poses several challenges to human health, including muscle loss and fat deposition. To mitigate these effects, exercise countermeasures are prescribed. This study aimed to measure neck muscle size and composition changes with long‐duration spaceflight using quantitative magnetic reson...

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) are used for bone assessment but also image adjacent soft tissue. This pilot study examined association between HR-pQCT-measured leg muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and density vs. DXA-derived lean mass,...

Assessments of 3D geometry, bone density distribution and bone strength improve hip fracture risk prediction but currently require the use of computed tomography (CT). 2D-to-3D statistical shape and appearance model (SSAM) reconstructions from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) projections have been proposed as...

Given that failure load is a strong predictor of fracture risk, future studies should investigate whether interventions that target muscle size may impact fracture risk in older adults.
