Sex-specific mean and standard deviation (SD) of the skeletal muscle area (SMA), muscle radiodensity attenuation (MRA), and subcutaneous fat area are provided at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) and twelfth thoracic vertebra (T12) on axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography slices. Additionally, mean and SD of the visceral fat area at L3, visceral and whole-body fat mass, the skeletal muscle index (SMI), and the body mass index (BMI) are listed.
