• Easy to perform measurements on a single CT slice highly correlate with clinically valuable parameters of body composition. • Body composition data were acquired using bioelectrical impedance analysis to correlate CT measurements with a non-imaging-based method, which is frequently lacking in previous studies. • The obtained equations facilitate a quick, opportunistic assessment of relevant parameters of body composition.
