A new study suggests that applying a deep learning algorithm to routine abdominal CT scans could help identify fall risk ...

Muscle and fat weigh the same in pounds. The key difference is not in weight, but in density. Muscle is denser than fat, taking up less space in a body. A very muscular person will therefore look ...

Medically reviewed by Jonathan Purtell, RDN Key Takeaways You can build muscle while in a calorie deficit by eating enough protein and doing resistance training. Eating protein helps preserve lean ...

Study shows greater muscle area in men leads increased risk of heart disease; it's different for muscle density. Body composition -- often expressed as the amount of fat in relation to muscle -- is ...

It’s a common misconception that muscle weighs more than fat. In reality, muscle weight vs. fat weight is exactly the same — a pound of fat vs a pound of muscle still weighs in at one pound. The myth ...

Body composition - often expressed as the amount of fat in relation to muscle - is one of the standard predictors of cardiac health. Now, new research from the University of California San Diego ...

A new study claimed men with larger abdominal muscles are at a greater risk of heart disease later in life. “It’s an observational study. So men with larger abdominal muscle, we’re more likely to get ...

Body composition—often expressed as the amount of fat in relation to muscle—is one of the standard predictors of cardiac health. Now, new research from the University of California San Diego indicates ...

Britta Larsen leads a group that used computed tomography scans from the early 2000s to determine men with greater muscle area have greater risk of coronary heart disease. Body composition — often ...
