| Stephen & Janssen, 2009 [12] Prospective Cohort USA |
n=3.366 (M/W) Age ≥65 y. |
BIA (AMM/EST2); HS (SC=HS EST-adjust-ed); Anthropometry (OB=WC). |
CAD; CHF; CVA. |

NA |
Serum insulin and vitamin D levels were associated with SO in both sexes. Serum glucose and TGL levels have been associated with SO in women and PTH levels increased the risk of SO in men. |
