Popis:	Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is defined as the concomitant presence of sarcopenia and obesity (1). Studies have employed different obesity definitions to understand the relation of SO to cardiometabolic outcomes, with more recent studies examining muscle-related outcomes (2, 3). The leading candidates amongst obesity definitions are waist circumference (WC), percentage fat mass (FM%), and fat mass index (FMI). The last two measures are derived from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or bioelectrical impedance (BIA), and adjust for fat quantity irrespective of distribution (4).
