Background: Some adipose-related parameters exhibit distinct prognostic value in patients with cirrhosis. However, the magnitude and direction of the association between individual adipose parameter and mortality in patients with cirrhosis are unclear.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the association between individual adipose parameter and mortality in patients with cirrhosis using the meta-analysis method.
Background: Previous studies have shown inconsistent findings regarding the association of alcohol consumption with sarcopenia. Therefore, this study comprehensively investigated the association of alcohol consumption with sarcopenia in a nationally representative sample of US adults.
Methods: This population-based study included adults aged 18 years and older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III.
Muscle quality index (MQI) is a novel indicator reflecting the quality of skeletal muscles. The association between MQI and the development of advanced fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is unknown. We investigated the association of low MQI with advanced fibrosis among adults with NAFLD using a nationally representative sample of the US population.
