2025-08-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Muscle health is an emerging concept, increasingly cited in studies associated with physical performance and functional independence. However, the term lacks a clear operational or conceptual definition and often serves as a general descriptor of any muscle-related outcome. Clinical communication and research designs would benefit from a sound conceptual model of muscle health grounded in an...
