Energy balance
The analysis was limited to studies using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for measuring fat-free mass.
Practitioners should be aware of the limitations of DXA in assessing body composition.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
Our review was limited to small substudies and the use of DXA, which does not measure skeletal muscle mass directly.
Why this rating
Based on the analysis of studies using DXA.
