Abstract
Fatty infiltration in the muscle, i.e., myosteatosis, is an undervalued parameter of muscle quality associated to cardiometabolic health. Appendicular muscle mass is also associated to cardiometabolic outcomes. Then, both muscle mass and quality should be evaluated in the same region. We explored the association of intramuscular lipids (IML) in the thigh, measured through proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS), with body fat (BF), thigh lean mass, thigh fat mass and saturated free fatty acids (S-FFA) in a cohort of Colombian adults with metabolic risk factors.
