Table 2.
Estimated hazard ratios for time to adverse outcome (ICU admission or death) from a model for a one standard deviation change in each body composition measure accounting for competing risks (N = 124).
| Body composition measure (CSA) | Standard deviation (cm2) | Hazard ratio (95% CI) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| VAT | 110 | 1.28 (0.93, 1.76) | 0.130 |
| VAT/SAT ratio | 0.38 | 1.30 (1.04, 1.62) | 0.022 |
| TAT | 213 | 1.58 (0.95, 2.63) | 0.078 |
| Muscle | 37 | 0.80 (0.48, 1.35) | 0.410 |
| IMAT | 13.7 | 1.44 (1.10, 1.89) | 0.008 |
Each model was additionally adjusted for age, sex, race (White/Black/Hispanic/other), type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular or metabolic disease not including type 2 diabetes, (binary), and body mass index (natural cubic splines with three nodes). Hazard ratios refer to subdistributional proportional hazard ratios for ICU admission and/or death, obtained from competing risks models.
CSA cross-sectional area, VAT visceral adipose tissue, SAT subcutaneous adipose tissue, IMAT intermuscular adipose tissue.
