Threshold of Muscle Strength associated with Metabolic Syndrome

Muscle Strength < 50 years (N=5685)
≥ 50 years (N=1541)
Threshold (kg/kg body weight) Sensitivity Specificity AUC (95%CI) Threshold (kg/kg body weight) Sensitivity Specificity AUC (95%CI)
Model 1
Composite strength 2.57 67.3 55.6 0.65 (0.64–0.67) 2.35 61.3 53.8 0.61 (0.58–0.64)
Model 2
Composite strength 2.56 75.7 71.0 0.81 (0.80–0.83) 2.50 73.0 64.3 0.76 (0.73–0.78)
Model 3
Composite strength 2.86 74.3 66.9 0.77 (0.76–0.79) 2.46 72.5 55.9 0.70 (0.67–0.73)

Thresholds are presented as values of relative muscle strength (kg) divided by body weight (kg) with their respective sensitivity and specificity. The areas under the curve with the 95% confidence interval are presented. Model 1 is adjusted for age, smoking status, and alcohol intake. Model 2 is adjusted for age, smoking status, alcohol intake, and BMI. Model 3 is adjusted for age, smoking status, alcohol intake, and cardiorespiratory fitness.
