- Associations of Quadriceps Torque Properties with Muscle Size, Attenuation, and Intramuscular Adipose Tissue in Older AdultsPublication . Frank-Wilson, Andrew W; Chalhoub, Didier; Figueiredo, Pedro; Jónsson, Pálmi V; Siggeirsdóttir, Kristín; Sigurdsson, Sigurdur; Eiriksdottir, Gudny; Guðnason, Vilmundur; Launer, Lenore; Harris, Tamara BAtrophy and fatty infiltration of muscle with aging are associated with fractures and falls, however, their direct associations with muscle function are not well described. It was hypothesized that participants with lower quadriceps muscle attenuation, area, and greater intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) will exhibit slower rates of torque development (RTD) and lower peak knee extension torques.
