Abstract Synopsis

  • The study examined how body composition components, specifically appendicular lean mass (ALM) and abdominal fat mass (AFM), relate to insulin resistance in older adults, finding significant associations especially in overweight and obese individuals.
  • Results showed that higher AFM and ALM are linked to increased insulin resistance, with stronger relationships seen in those with higher BMI categories.
  • The study suggests that fat accumulation and muscle health are important factors in insulin resistance among the elderly, but more research is needed to understand how fat in muscles might contribute to this condition.]
