- •
Low muscle mass is an independent predictor of poor survival in various diseases.
- •
We investigated the psoas muscle mass index (PMI) using computed tomography imaging in 541 healthy adults in Japan.
- •
PMI was significantly lower in women and in individuals ≥50 y.
- •
We established the sex-specific cutoff values of PMI to define low muscle mass.
- •
This new criterion would be applicable for defining sarcopenia in Asia.
