Age-specific and sex-specific associations of visceral adipose tissue mass and fat-to-muscle mass ratio with risk of mortality.

Most associations of VAT and FMR with all-cause mortality were J-shaped and were significantly modified by age status (<50, 50-59 and ≥60 years). The clinical implication is that regarding body composition and VAT mass, different health strategies may be adopted for people of different sexes and ages.
