Why the study?
Is low muscle mass associated with higher cardiometabolic risk in adolescents regardless of nutritional status?
Is low muscle mass associated with higher cardiometabolic risk in adolescents regardless of nutritional status?
Low muscle mass is an independent factor associated with increased cardiometabolic risk in adolescents, exacerbating the risk even in those with obesity.
Supports low muscle mass as a cardiometabolic risk marker in adolescents; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions.
In adolescents, LMM was associated with higher CMR, regardless of nutritional status. In obese adolescents, LMM increased obesity-associated CMR.
