OBJECTIVES: To determine whether lower ankle brachial index (ABI) levels are associated
with lower calf skeletal muscle area and higher calf muscle percentage fat in persons with …

OBJECTIVES: To identify associations between lower extremity ischemia and leg strength,
leg power, and hand grip in persons with and without lower extremity peripheral arterial …

Objectives To determine whether poor lower extremity nerve function is associated with less‐
favorable calf muscle characteristics and greater functional impairment in people with and …

Objectives: To define the relationships between lower extremity peripheral arterial disease
(PAD), pathophysiological findings in lower extremity muscles and nerves, and lower …

Objectives: This study analyzed whether lower calf muscle density and poorer upper and
lower extremity strength are associated with higher mortality rates in men and women with …

OBJECTIVES: Maintaining function among older men and women is an important public
health goal as the population lives longer with chronic disease. We report the relationships …

Background—Associations of pathophysiological calf muscle characteristics with functional
decline in people with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease are unknown. Methods …
