BMI: body mass index; WC: waist circumference; WHR: waist-hip ratio; AC: arm circumference; AAMA: adjusted-arm muscle area; AFA: fat arm area; mGSA: modified global subjective assessment; GOA: global objective assessment. In the total sample, values in bold indicated significant association of sex or age with cardiometabolic and malnutrition risk analyzed by Pearson’s chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test.
