Paper

Abstract

Body mass index (BMI) has limitations in reflecting body fat distribution and its implications on health. This study utilized more precise indicators of body fat distribution, including trunk fat mass, limb fat mass, total fat mass and body fat percentage, to investigate their associations with biological aging.

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 study investigates the associations between body fat distribution and biological aging. This paper is relevant as it explores factors that may contribute to the understanding of aging processes and potential interventions to improve healthspan.
