Although obesity is typically associated with metabolic dysfunction and cardiometabolic
diseases, some people with obesity are protected from many of the adverse metabolic …

The metabolic syndrome, by definition, is not a disease but is a clustering of individual
metabolic risk factors including abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia …

Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is a distinct adipose depot described in early reports as
a 'fatty replacement'or 'muscle fat infiltration'that was linked to ageing and neuromuscular …

A substantial loss of muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia), a decreased regenerative
capacity, and a compromised physical performance are hallmarks of aging skeletal muscle …

BACKGROUND Obesity is caused by an imbalance between energy intake, ie eating and
energy expenditure (EE). Severe obesity is more prevalent in women than men worldwide …

The objective of this review was to compare and contrast the physiological and metabolic
profiles of rodent white adipose fat pads with white adipose fat depots in humans. Human fat …

The distribution of adipose tissue in the body has wide-ranging and reproducible
associations with health and disease. Accumulation of adipose tissue in the upper body …

Muscle's structural composition is an important factor underlying muscle strength and
physical function in older adults. There is an increasing amount of research to support the …

The aging process is driven by a finite number of inter‐related mechanisms that ultimately
lead to the emergence of characteristic phenotypes, including increased susceptibility to …

Fat distribution is closely linked to metabolic disease risk. Distribution varies with sex,
