Popis: Abstract Background and Aims High tissue sodium accumulation and intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) are associated with aging, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. In this study, we aim to investigate whether high lower‐extremity tissue sodium accumulation relates to IMAT quantity and whether systemic inflammatory mediators and adipocytokines contribute to such association. Methods Tissue sodium content and IMAT accumulation (percentage of IMAT area to muscle area) were measured in 83 healthy individuals using sodium imaging (23Na‐MRI) and proton (1H‐MRI) imaging of the calf. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by glucose disposal rate (GDR) measured with the hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp. Results Median (interquartile range) muscle and skin sodium contents were 16.6 (14.9, 19.0) and 12.6 (10.9, 16.7) mmol/L, respectively. Median IMAT was 3.69 (2.80, 5.37) %. In models adjusted for age, sex, BMI, GDR, adiponectin, and high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein, increasing tissue sodium content was significantly associated with higher IMAT quantity (p = 0.018 and 0.032 for muscle and skin tissue sodium, respectively). In subgroup analysis stratified by sex, skin sodium was significantly associated with IMAT only among men. In interaction analysis, the association between skin sodium and IMAT was greater with increasing levels of high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein and interleukin‐6 (p for interaction = 0.022 and 0.006, respectively). Conclusions Leg muscle and skin sodium are associated with IMAT quantity among healthy individuals. The relationship between skin sodium and IMAT may be mediated by systemic inflammation.
