Correlations between trunk muscle mass (TMM) measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and cross-sectional areas (CSA) of each musculature measured using magnetic resonance imaging

Correlation between DXA-derived TMM and CSA of the psoas major (PM) (a). Correlation between DXA-derived TMM and CSA of the back muscles (BMs) (b). Correlation between DXA-derived TMM and CSA of the gluteus maximus (GM) (c)
