OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to create a formula to estimate the third lumbar vertebra (L3)1 level skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), known as a standard value to evaluate skeletal muscle mass on computed tomography (CT), using the twelfth thoracic vertebra (Th12) level skeletal muscle CSA on chest CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective observational study included patients aged 40 + years with a diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (n = 164). Skeletal muscle CSA on CT images was measured using the Th12 and the L3 levels of pretreatment CT scans. The predictive formula was created based on the five-fold cross-validation method with a linear regression model. Correlations between the predicted L3-level CSA and the actual L3-level CSA were evaluated using r and Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC). RESULTS: The predictive formula for L3-level CSA from Th12-level CSA was: CSA at L3 (cm2) = 14.143 + 0.779 * CSA at Th12 (cm2) - 0.212 * Age (y) + 0.502 * Weight (kg) + 13.763 * Sex. Correlations between the predicted and measured L3-level CSA were r = 0.915 [0.886-0.937] and ICC = 0.911 [0.881-0.934]. CONCLUSION: We developed a formula for predicting skeletal muscle mass from the Th12-level CT slice. The predicted L3-level CSA correlated with the measured L3-level CSA.
