Body fat and muscle were associated with metabolically unhealthy phenotypes in normal weight and overweight/obesity in Yi people: A cross-sectional study in Southwest China.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the association between the absolute mass, distribution, and relative ratio of body fat and muscle with the metabolically unhealthy (MU) phenotypes in normal weight and overweight/obesity in Yi people in China. The cross-sectional data from the Yi Migrants Study was used, which included 3,053 Yi people aged 20-80 years from the rural and urban sets. Participants were classified according to body mass index and metabolic status. Body composition including body fat percentage (BFP), fat mass index (FMI), visceral fat grade (VFG), muscle mass index (MMI), and muscle/fat ratio (M/F) were measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Restricted cubic spline and logistics regression models were used to test the associations between body composition parameters with M
