Figure 1. Correlation of skeletal muscle measures and Timed Up and Go (N = 132).

Figure 1

Illustrates the correlation of skeletal muscle measures with performance on the Timed Up and Go (TUG) physical performance assessment. Skeletal muscle index has a very weak negative correlation with TUG scores (−0.11) while skeletal muscle density and skeletal muscle gauge have a moderate negative correlation (−0.28 and −0.25, respectively). We limited this analysis to individuals that were able to complete the TUG (n = 132) and excluded those that were either unable to complete (n = 51) or were missing the score (n = 2).
