Association of organ damage with predicted fat mass in a community-dwelling elderly: the Northern Shanghai study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Body fat mass (FM) is associated with multiple organ damage. However, data regarding the relationship between various organ damage and FM are rare in the elderly. Therefore, we aim to perform an analysis on the relationship between organ damage and FM in a geriatric cohort.

Methods

3331 participants were included in this analysis. Based on age, body height, body weight, waist circumference, and race, we calculated FM with the established formula. Organ damage, including arterial stiffening, lower extremity atherosclerosis, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), micro-albuminuria, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), were measured and calculated with standard methods.

Results

All organ damage parameters were significantly related to FM (all p < 0.001). In univaria
