Sentence examples for muscle mass rather from inspiring English sources

[21] The importance of obesity as a risk factor for mortality (we showed protective effect of higher BMI in adjusted analyses of all-cause mortality in ages >60 years) is likely to be underestimated in this study because of weight loss among individuals who are in poor health and BMI at older age is likely to capture muscle mass rather than fat.

Recent studies suggest that it is higher muscle mass, rather than higher fat mass, that predicts longer survival in dialysis patients (48, 49).
