Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis in the Patients With Hemophilia

"Body composition will be measured using whole-body DXA (GE Lunar iDXA, GE Healthcare Lunar, Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A.). Extremity skeletal muscle mass will be calculated using the values measured via the DXA; ASM will be calculated as the sum of skeletal muscle mass in the arms and legs, assuming that the mass of lean soft tissue is a skeletal muscle. Appendicular skeletal mass index (ASM/Ht2 ) will be determined as the sum of the arm and leg lean mass (kg)/height2 (m2~). BMD will be measured in lumbar spine and bilateral hip by the same DXA device (GE Lunar iDXA, GE Healthcare Lunar, Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A.)"
