Background Age-related changes in body composition include decreased muscle mass and
preserved or increased fat mass. There is no anthropometric index to assess both muscle …

Background Unhealthy body composition, including high fat mass, low muscle mass and low
bone mass, is a critical health issue in adults. The weight‐adjusted waist index (WWI) …

Background The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) reflected body compositional changes
with aging. This study was to investigate the association of WWI with abdominal fat and …

Background Cross-sectional evidence has shown an association between abdominal
obesity and lower muscle strength in older adults. However, no longitudinal findings have …

Aging is associated with changes in body composition and muscle strength. This review
aimed to determine the relation between different body composition measures and muscle …

Objectives Body composition changes with aging can increase rates of obesity, frailty and
impact function. Measuring adiposity using body fat (% BF) or central adiposity using waist …

Background To explore the relationship between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and the
risk of all-cause mortality in one urban community-dwelling population in China. Methods …

Background. An excessive amount of adipose tissue may contribute to sarcopenia and may
be one mechanism underlying accelerated loss of muscle mass and strength with aging. We …

Objective: Recent studies have emphasized the importance of muscle and fat mass in
relation to age‐related decline in physical function. Our objective was to determine whether …

Aim The age‐dependent loss of skeletal muscle mass is highly concerning in diverse aging
populations. However, age‐dependent changes in muscle mass and the visceral fat area …
