Associations of Skeletal Muscle Mass and Fat Mass With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and All‐Cause Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study of UK Biobank Participants

Associations of Skeletal Muscle Mass and Fat Mass With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and All‐Cause Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study of UK Biobank Participants

Background There is debate whether body mass index is a good predictor of health outcomes because different tissues, namely skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and fat mass (FM), may be differentially associated with risk. We investigated the association of appendicular SMM (aSMM) and FM with fatal and nonfa...
