Intramuscular Adipose Tissue, Sarcopenia, and Mobility Function in Older Individuals

Table 2

Bivariate correlations between muscle and mobility variables. Intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), cross-sectional area (CSA), six minute walk (6 MW), stair ascent (stair A), stair descent (stair D), timed up and go (TUG).
