生物电阻抗法测量18~42岁成人四肢骨骼肌质量的准确性评价

Accuracy evaluation of bioelectrical impedance analysis in assessment of appendicular skeletal muscle mass in adults aged 18-42 years

目的评价生物电阻抗法(bioelectrical impedance analysis,BIA)测量成人四肢骨骼肌质量(appendicular skeletal muscle mass,ASM)的准确性。方法采用方便抽样法,于2021年4月至2022年9月在广州全市招募836名18~42岁成人,采用BIA与双能X线吸收法(dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry,DXA)同步检测ASM。以DXA为标准方法,通过组内相关系数以及在对数变换数据中进行Bland-Altman分析判断BIA与DXA所测值的一致性,以此评价BIA测量ASM的准确性。绘制受试者工作特征曲线,评价BIA识别低肌肉质量的诊断价值。结果最终纳入774名研究对象。男、女性中两法所测ASM组内相关系数分别为0.774和0.667。男、女性中BIA与DXA所测ASM比值均值(一致性限)分别为0.94(0.80~1.10)和0.91(0.78~1.05)。BIA识别男、女性低肌肉质量的曲线下面积分别0.91和0.94。BIA判断男、女性低肌肉质量的Z值最佳界值分别为-0.57和-0.66,男性中BIA识别低肌肉质量的灵敏度、特异度分别为82.5%、86.0%,女性中分别为86.8%、93.8%。结论BIA与DXA所测成人四肢骨骼肌质量的一致性尚可,且BIA识别18~42岁成人低肌肉质量的诊断价值较好。

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)in measurement of appendicular skeletal muscle mass(ASM)of adults.Methods A total of 836 adults aged 18-42 years were recruited in Guangzhou using a convenient sampling method from April 2021 to September 2022.ASM was measured using BIA and Dual⁃energy X⁃ray absorptiometry(DXA).Using DXA as the standard method,the consistency between the BIA and DXA measurements was evaluated by intra⁃class correlation coefficients(ICCs)and Bland⁃Altman analysis in logarithmically transformed data,in order to evaluate the accuracy of BIA in ASM measurement.Receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of BIA for screening low muscle mass.Results A total of 774 individuals were included for analysis finally.ICCs for ASM measured by BIA and DXA were 0.774 and 0.667 in males and females,respectively.Mean ratios(limits of Agreement)of ASM were 0.94(0.80-1.10)and 0.91(0.78-1.05)in males and females,respectively.Area under curve of BIA for screening low muscle mass were 0.91 and 0.94 in males and females,respectively.The optimal cut⁃off values of Z⁃score by BIA for males and females were-0.57 and-0.66,respectively.Sensitivity and specificity for males were 82.5%and 86.0%,while being 86.8%and 93.8%,for females.Conclusion BIA shows a moderate consistency with DXA for measuring ASM in adults.Furthermore,BIA yields a good diagnostic value in identifying low muscle mass in adults aged 18-42 years.
