Sarcopenic obesity is significantly associated with myosteatosis, which is representative of poor muscle quality.
Study context
- Population
- Participants who underwent abdominal CT; muscle area at L3 segmented by attenuation
- Participants
- 13,612 participants
- Exposure
- Sarcopenic obesity vs control without sarcopenia or obesity
- Outcome
- Myosteatosis: lowest quartile of normal attenuation muscle area (NAMA)/TAMA index (<73.56 in men and <66.97 in women)
