Muscle tissue typically contains only small amounts of adipose tissue, and the excess
deposition of adiposity is considered a pathological phenomenon termed myosteatosis …

Further studies are needed to identify the specific physiological mechanisms that influence
myosteatosis, and the mechanisms that link this fat depot with insulin resistance …

Although age-related changes in skeletal muscles are closely associated with decreases in
muscle strength and functional decline, their associations with cardiometabolic diseases in …

The role of ectopic adipose tissue infiltration into skeletal muscle (ie, myosteatosis) for
metabolic disorders has received considerable and increasing attention in the last 10 years …

Myosteatosis, which is excessive fat infiltration in the skeletal muscle, is now considered a
distinct disease from sarcopenia. Advances in imaging technique have made muscle …

Skeletal muscle fat infiltration (known as myosteatosis) is an ectopic fat depot that increases
with aging and is recognized to negatively correlate with muscle mass, strength, and mobility …

Muscle composition may affect mortality risk, but prior studies have been limited to specific
samples or less precise determination of muscle composition. We evaluated associations of …

Great interest has been given to sarcopenia and its association with increased risk of
morbidity and mortality. However, sarcopenia is now considered a muscle disease …

Objective Skeletal muscle fat infiltration (known as myosteatosis) is greater in African
compared with European ancestry men and may play an important role in the development …

Skeletal muscle and bone share common embryological origins from mesodermal cell
populations and also display common growth trajectories early in life. Moreover, muscle and …
