BMI, body mass index; FMI, fat mass index; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; SE standard error

*Fat mass index was calculated by dividing each participant’s fat mass (kg) by square of height (m) (kg/m2)

aCentral obesity was defined as waist circumference ≥ 90 cm in men

bRegular exercise was defined as > 20 min per session, at least 3 times per week (n = 702)

cSarcopenia was defined as sarcopenia index < 0.774

dFEV1 ≥ 80% of predicted value

eFEV1 < 80% of predicted value
