Weighted means and standard errors were used for continuous data, while frequencies with weighted percentages were used for categorical data. BMI, Body mass index; BMD, Bone mineral density; ASM, Appendicular skeletal muscle; SMI, Skeletal muscle index; OP, Osteoporosis; SP, Sarcopenia; OS, Osteosarcopenia

aSMI was calculated by dividing appendicular skeletal muscle by the square of height
