NAFLD and adverse muscle composition.
Adverse muscle composition (AMC): low muscle volume coupled with high muscle fat. Square muscle composition plot includes prevalence of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Bar plots show prevalence of poor function. Images are coronal and transversal magnetic resonance images of individuals representative for each of the muscle composition groups. AMC cut-offs: Muscle volume z-score (FFMVVCG), −0.68 (both females and males), muscle fat infiltration, 8.88% and 7.69% (females and males, respectively). FFMV, fat-tissue free muscle volume; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; VCG, virtual control group.
