Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
To explore the relationship of BMI and WC with muscle/adipose tissue mass ratios and with trunk adipose tissue distribution, based on an anatomical 5-compartment model, by dissection of cadavers of elderly persons. Cross-sectional explorative study. Brussels Cadaver Analysis Study. Cadavers of twenty-nine white Caucasian elderly persons (17 females and 12 males, aged 78,1±6,9 years). Whole body and trunk composition were determined at the anatomical tissue-system level by direct dissection. BMI and WC were significantly and positively related to absolute tissue masses in both sexes. Muscle tissue mass, adipose tissue mass and trunk internal adipose tissue mass correlated better with BMI (r-values between 0.68 and 0.89) than with WC (r-values between 0.49 and 0.71). BMI was significantly and inversely related with various muscle/adipose tissue ratios in both sexes (r-values between −0.54 and −0.68). WC correlated with muscle/adipose tissue ratios in females only (r-values between −0.55 and −0.64). BMI was also significantly related to trunk adipose tissue distribution in elderly females, but not in males. When comparing individual tissue proportions within and between adjacent BMI-classifications or WC categories, body composition varied considerably. Our results show that BMI and WC are significantly related with adipose tissue mass and with several ratios of muscle to adipose tissue in elderly subjects. However, cautious clinical interpretation is warranted since important differences in tissue mass proportions were found in subjects with similar BMI and/or WC values.
