| The study consists of three parts. Each part has it*s own main study parameters 1. Clinical part: the results of the questionnaire study compared to standardizes normal values and the results of the comprehensive clinical assessment and creatinine kinase levels 2. Imaging part: fatty infiltration and hypertrophy of proximal and axial muscles. 3. Immunological part: circulating and leukocyte released anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels compared to healthy age and sex matched controls. | — |
