Abstract
- Numerous scientists use the term “muscle quality” to refer to the relationship between muscle strength and muscle volume.
- The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between muscle quality and falls-related traits in older women.
- Muscle quality was linked to negative outcomes in older women, in particular, falls-related risk factors.
- Muscle quality may be a useful supplement to other muscular indices in the evaluation of risk of falls.
