BMI: body mass index; AC: arm circumference; AMA: arm muscle are; AFA: arm fat area; ST: skinfold thickness; WC: waist circumference; HC: hip circumference; WHR: waist-hip ratio; WHtR: waist-height ratio; CNI: conicity index; BAI: body adiposity index; Σ4ST: sum of four skinfolds thickness. One patient with adequate nutrition in GOA was excluded. Values expressed as the . values in bold indicate statistical difference among the groups stratified according to GOA ().
