Primary

MeasureTime frame
Lean body mass measured by DEXA

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Muscle mass; raw electrical impedance value, limb circumference 2. Muscle strength; microFET (Force Evaluation and Testing), TUG test, muscle strength measured by walking for 6 minutes, muscle strength by measuring device, hand grip strength 3. Cognitive ability, depression; GDS-J, MOCA-J, Yaruki score 4. Sleep Assessment; Athens Insomnia Scale, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Sleep Cycle, etc. Sleep measurement app 5. Glucose metabolism (FPG, F-IRI, HbA1c) 6. Lipid profile, Apo protein, Lpa, 7. QoL Questionnaire (AHQ, SF36) 8. Body composition (DEXA, waist circumference), Fat scan 9. Bone density (DEXA), bone metabolism marker 10.

Other unknown biomarkers (search blood sampling; metabolomics analysis, exosome analysis, gene expression analysis) Before and after switching to Somapacitan, confirm the transition in the daily administration group of somatropin preparation during the same period. Metabolome analysis is requested to the Mass Analysis Center, exosome analysis is outsourced to a company after extracting exosomes in our laboratory, miRNA, mRNA, protein expression is measured and analyzed in the laboratory, gene expression analysis is a blood sample. Analyze gene expression (mRNA) using.
