Unadjusted and Adjusted Association Between Plasma CAF and ALM

Low ALM (N = 60) Normal ALM (N = 240) p Value Low ALM (N = 60) Normal ALM (N = 240) p Value
Unadjusted Means (SEM) Adjusted Means (SEM)*
CAF (ng/mL)
 All participants 2.91 (0.14) 2.65 (0.03) .006 2.94 (0.09) 2.64 (0.04) .003
 Men 2.96 (0.24) 2.63 (0.04) .029 2.98 (0.14) 2.63 (0.07) .027
