Associations of Visceral Adipose Tissue and Skeletal Muscle Density With Incident Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, and All‐Cause Mortality in Community‐Dwelling 70‐Year‐Old Individuals: A Prospective Cohort Study

Associations of Visceral Adipose Tissue and Skeletal Muscle Density With Incident Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, and All‐Cause Mortality in Community‐Dwelling 70‐Year‐Old Individuals: A Prospective Cohort Study

Background Aging leads to increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and reduced skeletal muscle density. To which extent these are associated with the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and all‐cause mortality in older adults is unknown.
