Joint associations of low muscle mass (LMM) and MetS, or low muscle strength (LMS) and MetS with all-cause mortality.
Individual association of MetS with all-cause mortality was shown in A. The definitions of LMM were based on ALM (B) and ALM/BMI (C) in the joint analyses of LMM and MetS; the joint associations of LMS and MetS with all-cause mortality were shown in D. Relative Risks (RR) of all-cause mortality were estimated from multivariable logistic regression models which were adjusted by age, gender, race, BMI, smoking, alcohol use, education, LTPA, sedentary time, CVD, diabetes, cancer, COPD, and CKD. P for interaction = 0.058 in A, 0.212 in B, and 0.317 in C.
