Background. The main criticism of the definition of “osteosarcopenic obesity”(OSO) is the
lack of division between subcutaneous and visceral fat. This study describes the prevalence …

Osteoporosis is a common disease, characterized by low bone mass with micro‐
architectural disruption and skeletal fragility, resulting in an increased risk of fracture. A …

Sarcopenic muscular degeneration has been consistently identified as an independent risk
factor for mortality in aging populations. Recent investigations have realized the quantitative …

Context: Older adults with type 2 diabetes are at higher risk for fracture compared with
nondiabetic adults after adjustment for their higher bone mineral density. Infiltration of …

Muscle density is a risk factor for fractures in older adults; however, its association with falls
is not well described. After adjusting for biologically relevant confounding factors, a unit …

Background & aims Recent studies have shown that increased intramuscular adipose tissue
of the quadriceps in older people is more strongly related to decreased muscle strength, sit …

Image-based methods such as computed tomography for assessing body composition
enables quantification of muscle mass and muscle density and reveals that low muscle …

Introduction Aging skeletal muscle is associated with not only a reduction in muscle size and
strength but also in muscle quality which reflects an increase in fatty infiltration of muscle. In …

Background Little is known about the effect of exercise modality during a dietary weight loss
program on muscle size and quality, as measured by computed tomography (CT). Even less …

Objective To examine the influence of intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) on muscle quality
(MQ) changes in older adults after 12 weeks of exercise training. Design Prospective cohort …
