Paper

Abstract

We aimed to identify sex-specific joint skeletal muscle mass index (SMI)-fat mass index (FMI) trajectories and examine their associations with glucose homeostasis in adults aged ≥50 years.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

The paper claims that specific trajectories of skeletal muscle and fat mass are associated with glucose homeostasis in older adults. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between body composition and metabolic health, which are critical factors in aging and longevity.
