PRAL and atherosclerosis: Regarding skeletal muscle mass, the association between PRAL and high-risk ACC/AHA ASCVD was stronger among subjects with preserved skeletal muscle mass (OR 1.17, 95 % CI 1.06–1.30, Fig. 6d); this association was not observed among sarcopenic subjects (OR 1.17, 95 % CI 0.81–1.69).
