Interrelationships between Sarcopenia, Bone Mass, and Metabolic Parameters in Pediatric Obesity
Muscle mass and muscle strength were significantly associated with cardiometabolic parameters in children and adolescents with obesity. The best independent predictive risk factor for diagnosing sarcopenia in obese children and adolescents is HDL-C (cut-off value >44.8 mg/dL). The results of our study regarding bone parameters suggest the presence of osteosarcopenic obesity.
