Myopenia, sarcopenia, and metabolic bone disease in patients with IBD over 24 months. Figure Legend: (A) Sarcopenia defined as BOTH appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) and grip strength <1 standard deviation below gender and age-matched mean. Myopenia defined as appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) <1 standard deviation below gender and age-matched mean; (B) osteopenia and osteoporosis according to World Health Organisation criteria. Osteopenia defined as bone mineral density (BMD) 1–2.5 standard deviations and osteoporosis as ≥2.5 standard deviations below the young adult mean. * p < 0.05, denoting statistical significance; ns, non-significant p value > 0.05.
