Total body skeletal muscle mass and diet in children aged 6 –8 years: ANIVA Study
This study provides values of SMM for children. Children’s adherence to a Mediterranean diet was not related to total SMM. At the same time, the consumption of excess calories or overeating is associated with SMM, with those children overeating more having lower SMM values. The differences in the intake of the other macro- and micronutrients were not associated with children’s SMM.
