Changes in reduction of sarcopenia parameters according to obesity. Black rectangles and grey rectangles indicate obesity and non-obese, respectively. Relative percentage change of appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASM), handgrip-strength (HGS), and short physical performance battery (SPPB). A Obesity defined by body mass index (BMI, ≥ 25 kg/m2). B Central obesity defined by waist circumference (WC, ≥ 90 cm for men and ≥ 85 cm for women).
