A study published by the health portal looked closely at the correlation between calf muscle size and PAD, making notable observations along the way.
The study concluded: “Our results demonstrated lower calf girth indicated a higher likelihood of PAD in men, a lower calf circumference may be due to small muscle mass.”
What’s more, “small muscle mass has been shown to contribute to insulin resistance and pre-diabetes and high lipid profiles,” noted the scientists.
Muscle wastage is typically linked to malnutrition, age, genetics, or a lack of physical exercise, sometimes it is caused by not using the muscles enough.
