TL;DR

Among U.S. adults with osteopenia or osteoporosis, low muscle mass was a robust predictor of all-cause mortality, and fat mass demonstrated a nonlinear pattern with the lowest risk at intermediate levels, support incorporating muscle assessment and refined adiposity measures into risk stratification beyond BMD alone.

Sex-specific associations between DXA-derived arms fat-to-lean ratio and sarcopenia in Taiwanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study

Sarcopenia is an underrecognized yet clinically significant complication in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), influenced in part by adverse alterations in body composition such as myosteatosis. This study examined sex-specific associations between regional fat-to-lean ratios, measured by dual-energy...

Trends in osteoarthritis burden and the role of body mass index among older U.S. adults, 1999–2023: a NHANES and GBD analysis

Objective: To examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and osteoarthritis (OA) among U.S. adults aged ≥55 years and to characterize national temporal trends, geographic patterns, and future burden projections. Methods: This multi-source study integrated NHANES (1999–2023) and GBD data. Multivariable logis...

Age and sex differences in the modification of the leg lean mass-bone mineral density association by sedentary time in U.S. adults

Background Lean mass is positively associated with bone mineral density (BMD), and this relationship may vary according to age and sex. Sedentary behavior has also been associated with BMD, although findings differ across populations and skeletal sites. However, it remains unclear whether sedentary time modifies the re...

Association of skeletal muscle mass indices and adiposity with ultrasonography-detected hepatic steatosis in Tibetan and Han adults: a cross-sectional study

Low muscle mass with adiposity has been linked to steatotic liver disease, but classification depends on how skeletal muscle mass is normalized. Evidence including Tibetan adults remains limited. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study enrolling 2,070 adults (1,563 Tibetans, 507 Han) undergoing...

Association of Body Fluid Distribution with Bone Mineral Density and Osteoporosis in Men Aged under 50: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Increases in ECF, ICF, and TBW were significantly linked to a lowered osteoporosis risk and enhanced BMD, which may aid clinicians in the early identification and intervention of patients at risk for bone loss.
