[Discussion] the lean mass advice in here is 19 years out of date

Discussion Receipts ×9

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/cagrilintide repeats that sarcopenia is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 2 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

bathroom BIA scales are not a method

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

DEXA is the real measurement

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
