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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

Background & aims We have sought to develop proper and useful indices for muscle quality
measurements other than muscle attenuation (Hounsfield unit; HU) and to determine the …

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

Background. Skeletal muscle fat infiltration (myosteatosis) increases with aging, and has
been associated with poor metabolic and musculoskeletal health, independent of overall …
