Sarcopenia Sarcopenic Obesity and Inflammation: Results from the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

摘要

Background:The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Sarcopenia Project validated cutpoints for appendicular lean mass (ALM) to identify individuals at risk for functional impairment. Recognizing possible underlying mechanisms between adipose tissue and muscle, we sought to apply the recent definitions and determine the relationship with markers of glucose homeostasis and inflammation in individuals with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity.
