The cross sectional area (mm2) of the psoas muscle stratified by age among otherwise healthy trauma patients (blue) and liver transplant recipients (red). Males are shown in figure 1a and females in 1b. Both male and female liver transplant recipients have significantly smaller psoas area compared to trauma patients. Psoas area decreases with age in both groups, though the slope of this decreased is larger in the trauma patients.
