From: Serum albumin levels as a predictive biomarker for low-load resistance training programs’ effects on muscle thickness in the community-dwelling elderly Japanese population: interventional study result

Fig. 2

Comparison of changes in muscle thickness for (a) low and normal serum albumin (Alb) levels, b low and normal mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and c low serum and normal low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance; the main effects on time, but not on group, and the time × group interactions were significant for all three measurements. Although the time × group interactions were detected in all three measurements, a significant difference after training intervention was only detected in serum Alb levels compared with the low and normal groups using Tukey’s multiple comparison test as a post-hoc analysis. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). N = 69
