Adverse body measurements are superior to sarcopenia-associated measurements in predicting chronic diseases

Abstract Few studies have demonstrated an association of sarcopenia-associated body measurements with chronic diseases through a comprehensive methodology. This study aims to examine the relationship between sarcopenia-associated body measurements and chronic diseases. This is a cohort study. We rec...

We collected three-dimensional anthropometric body-surface measurements from 11,158 participants during 2000–2008 and followed up this cohort for 15 years to examine the association of these measurements with the risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), heart disease, and nephrotic syndrome.
