* Univariate analysis; adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index; further adjusted for left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, creatinine clearance <60 mL/min, Total cholesterol >5.17 mmol/L (>200 mg/dL), clopidogrel at discharge, statins at discharge, and average diameter of inserted stents; § further adjusted for clinical presentation as myocardial infarction, hypertension, diabetes, previous malignancy, multivessel disease, and implantation of second generation drug-eluting stents. || propensity score-matched analysis; further adjusted for dyslipidemia, number of treated lesions and treated vessels, number of implanted stents, and total stent length. CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; L1 = first lumbar vertebra; MACE = major adverse cardiovascular event; PSM = propensity score-matched; SMI = skeletal muscle index.
