Malnutrition in Relation to Muscle Mass, Muscle Quality, and Muscle Strength in Hospitalized Older Adults

Muscle quality is an essential muscle metric, which can be assessed by measuring intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) and skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD) via computed tomography (CT) images. We aimed to explore the associations of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM)–defined malnutrition with muscle mass, muscle quality, and muscle strength in hospitalized older adults.
