BMI body mass index, TSF Triceps skinfold, AC arm circumference, AMC arm muscle circumference. * p < 0.01 when eutrophic groups were compared with their respective chronological overweight (OW) or obesity (OB) groups; ^A p < 0.05 when adult and elderly were compared among in terms of eutrophic, OW or OB; # P < 0.01 when OW were compared with OB inside the same chronological groups
