Sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity and inflammation: Results from the 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Summary 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. Methods The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1999 …
