CRP and sarcopenia: Therefore, the aim of the current study was to compare the relationships between sarcopenia indices estimated by DXA and CT (ASM/height2, ASM/BMI, or tmCSA/weight) and cardiometabolic risk factors known to be associated with sarcopenia, such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), Homeostasis Model Assessment as an index of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), visceral obesity, and components of metabolic syndrome, in an apparently healthy Asian population.
