Relationship Between Aging and Intramuscular Adipose Tissue in Older Inpatients

Although older inpatients are known to develop various conditions, whether aging affects intramuscular adipose tissue in older inpatients remains unclear. In particular, an increase in intramuscular adipose tissue in persons aged ≥85 years has previously not been revealed in either older inpatients or community-dwelling older individuals. This study therefore aimed to examine whether aging affects intramuscular adipose tissue in older inpatients.
