M and M/I are dependent variables; Age and measures of body composition are independent variables. Standardized coefficients (β) and p values for Age are shown. M and M/I were square root-, whereas BMI and CRP were log-transformed before analysis. n, number of subjects. p<0.05 values appear in bold.
