Evaluated using the Mann–Whitney U test and Fisher’s exact test. Parameter values are shown as means (standard deviations). Bold values indicate significant difference. LS, locomotive syndrome; BMI, body mass index; PBF, percent body fat; WC, waist circumference; BIA, bioelectrical impedance analysis; aSMI, appendicular skeletal muscle index.
