Urine Creatinine–Based Estimates of Fat-Free Mass in Community-Dwelling Older Persons: The Rancho Bernardo Study

To determine whether a previously developed and externally validated equation using common variables (demographics and weight) that are important determinants of muscle mass to estimate 24-hour urine creatinine excretion rate (eCER) is associated with muscle mass and whether spot urine creatinine (UCr) provides similar estimates of muscle mass.
