Conditions

Healthy adults

Interventions

Lateral and posterior lower-leg images will be captured once using a smartphone and a digital camera. On the same day, skeletal muscle mass will be measured once using bioelectrical impedance analysis

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Concordance between skeletal muscle mass estimated from lower-leg images and skeletal muscle mass measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (InBody 470), assessed using Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Prediction error of the skeletal muscle mass estimation model using smartphone-captured lower-leg images, assessed by mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean squared error (RMSE) 2. Agreement between skeletal muscle mass estimated from smartphone-captured lower-leg images and skeletal muscle mass measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis, assessed using Bland-Altman analysis (mean difference and 95% limits of agreement) 3. Comparison of predictive performance (CCC, MAPE, and RMSE) between the smartphone image-based skeletal muscle mass estimation model and the calf circumference-based estimation model 4. Comparison of skeletal muscle mass estimation performance according to imaging device (smartphone or digital camera) and imaging direction (lateral or posterior lower-leg view), assessed using CCC, MAPE, and RMSE
