Calf size and muscle mass study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks how well your calf size relates to your muscle mass using a bone density scan you already have scheduled. It may help find better ways to measure muscle loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already have a scheduled bone density (DEXA) scan at Tartu University Hospital.
- You cannot be in isolation for an infection.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must be able to understand and follow the study instructions.
Quick eligibility check

This study compares a simple calf measurement with a body scan (X-ray–based scan) to help diagnose sarcopenia, which means age-related loss of muscle strength. It may help your care team decide on the best way to recognize muscle loss early during hospitalization and follow-up.
This study uses advanced body scans (like MRI and DXA) to better measure body fat and muscle. It may help improve how obesity is diagnosed and treated.
This study looks at how obesity affects certain cell processes in muscle. It may help find new ways to treat or prevent muscle problems related to obesity.
This study checks if CT scans can measure bone and muscle health as well as standard tests in older adults. If you've had a recent CT scan and simple strength or walking tests, your data may help improve care for seniors.
This study measures electrical activity in your calf muscles using small sensors placed on the skin. It may help researchers understand how these muscles work during movement.
This study uses ultrasound imaging to measure muscle quality and see if it can predict how strong your muscles are. If you're generally healthy and live in Spain, researchers want to understand how muscle appearance on ultrasound relates to actual muscle strength.
