“Overall muscle density declined after acute care (estimate value: -3.640, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -4.538 to -2.741)”
None of its findings points the other way.

What did studies of Acute care find?
3Studies of Acute care measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are erector spinae muscle area (1 study), skeletal muscle area (1) and skeletal muscle density (1).
Erector spinae muscle area

1 study
Erector spinae muscle area
downin humans1
Acute care is linked with lower erector spinae muscle area in humans during acute care (estimate -1.836, 95% CI -2.507 to -1.165).
“only the erector spine muscle significantly declined (estimate value: -1.836, 95% CI: -2.507 to -1.165).”

Acute care was not clearly linked with skeletal muscle area in humans during acute care (estimate -0.863, 95% CI -2.925 to 1.200).
“In contrast, there was no significant change in the overall muscle area (estimate value: -0.863, 95% CI: -2.925 to 1.200).”
