Exemplary cases across four intermuscular adipose tissue–lean muscle mass z-score combinations

Caption

Exemplary cases across four intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT)–lean muscle mass (LMM) z score combinations. The figure shows four LMM-IMAT combinations in women (top row) and men (bottom row). From right to left, the panels show axial T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo images of the thoracic and lumbar regions in individuals with high LMM and low IMAT and with low LMM and high IMAT. Participants were randomly selected from the highest or lowest quartile of each respective LMM-IMAT combination and were of similar age (44 years ± 2 [SD]) and body mass index in weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (21 ± 2). Segmentation masks for intermuscular fat and lean muscle are displayed in the top right corner of each region.
