Forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1, FEV1%, PaO2 and PaCO2, body mass index (BMI), triceps (PCT), biceps (PCB), subscapular (PSE) and abdominal (PA) skinfold thickness, arm muscle circumference (PMB), arm muscle area (MAMA), arm fat area (MAFA), fat/muscle index MAMA/MAFA, % of total fat body and visceral protein (hemoglobin, albumin and transferrin) were assessed.

Measurements of midarm fat area (MAFA) and midarm muscle area (MAMA) by CT correlated well with AN and US, but both AN and US overestimated MAMA by 22.8 +/- 17% and 10 +/- 12%, respectively, (mean +/- SD).

Patients were defined as malnourished when midarm muscle area (MAMA) and/or midarm fat area (MAFA) were below the 5th percentile of an age- and sex-matched population.

MAMC and mid arm muscle area (MAMA) of patients and controls were comparable.
The values of BMI, MUAC, TSF and mid arm fat area (MAFA) in patients were significantly lower than those in healthy controls.

Children were stunted [median height-for-age (HA) Z score -1.49] but not wasted [median weight-for-height (WH) Z score 0.20], with median midarm muscle area (MAMA) and midarm-fat area (MAFA) Z scores of -0.57 and -0.35, respectively.
Zinc status explained some of the variance in growth (HA, WA, and WH Z scores), body composition (MAFA Z scores), and taste acuity.
