Cross-sectional association of skeletal muscle mass and strength with dietary habits and physical activity among first-year university students in Japan: Results from the KEIJI-U study

Abstract

First-year university students showed a high incidence of being underweight with low SMI and/or weak HGS, but the prevalence of sarcopenia was low in both sexes. There may be sex differences in factors related to muscle mass and strength, but further research is needed to clarify this.
