Multivariate adjusted beta-coefficients for log GDF-8, log GDF-11, log follistain, and log FSTL-3 with lean mass, strength, muscle size, muscle density, and walking performance in Health ABC. Notes: Model is adjusted for age, sex, race, self-rated health, body mass index, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, angina, smoking status, drinking status, coronary heart disease, heart failure, cystatin C, C-reactive protein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. ALM/ht2 = appendicular lean mass/height2; CSA = cross-sectional area; FSTL-3 = follistatin-like protein-3; GDF = growth differentiation factor.
