Note: IMAT = % Intramuscular Adipose Tissue area. Estimates are pooled results from imputed data. Models adjusted for:

Model 1: age, height, BMI, cognitive status, depression, health status, general pain, diabetes, knee or hip pain, acute inflammation;

Model 2: covariates in Model 1 + smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, education;

Model 3: covariates in Model 2 + number of deficits in activities of daily living, number of comorbidities.
