IMAT is negatively correlated with muscle strength and muscle function. IMAT is correlated with mortality in a specific subgroup of this cohort. This data adds to the discussion of the value of IMAT in the construct of sarcopenia. More studies need to be done regarding the evolution of IMAT in function of time and functional decline.
