Appendicular Lean Mass Index (ALMI): Females, Age 70-74

What these numbers mean

A value around 6.22 kg/m² is typical (50th percentile) for women in this age group. Scores above about 6.91 kg/m² fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance. Scores below about 5.54 kg/m² fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population scored higher.

These are percentiles for all US adults aged 20 and over, from NHANES 1999-2004 Hologic DXA scans. Values from another scanner brand or calibration are not directly comparable, and percentile position is not a clinical category.
