Lower-Limb Composition and Arterial Occlusion Pressure Across Body Positions

A cross-sectional study of 51 healthy adults (25 men, 26 women) conducted by Júlio M. Alves, published on figshare in 2026. It examines associations between lower-limb lean and fat mass measured via DXA and arterial occlusion pressure measured via Doppler ultrasound in supine, seated, and standing positions.

Use Cases

• Modeling arterial occlusion pressure based on limb composition and body position.
• Investigating sex differences in the relationship between tissue mass and occlusion pressure.
• Developing safer BFR protocols by incorporating tissue characteristic data.
• Analyzing the interaction between lean mass and body position on vascular occlusion.

Strengths

• Includes data from 51 participants with sex breakdown (25 men, 26 women).
• Provides specific regression coefficients (β values) and confidence intervals for associations.
• Measures key variables using established methods (DXA for composition, Doppler ultrasound for AOP).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to a single study of 51 healthy adults.
