(a) Individuals with the highest tertile of % ideal appendicular lean mass (ALM) had mean insulin sensitivity (IS) 45% higher than the lowest tertile (p=0.008). There was a sex interaction (p interaction=0.003). Men in the highest tertile of % ideal ALM had mean IS twice as high as the lowest tertile (p=0.001). (b) White adults in the highest tertile of % ideal ALM had mean IS 50% higher than the lowest tertile (p=0.005). There was a sex interaction (p interaction=0.007). Men in the highest tertile of % ideal ALM had mean IS more than twice as high as the lowest tertile (p<0.0001). (c) Black adults in the highest tertile of % ideal ALM trended towards having higher mean IS than the lowest tertile (p=0.06). There was no sex interaction (p interaction=0.18). Data reported as mean ± SEM.
