Age-related changes in body composition are characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass, termed sarcopenia, and gain in fat mass . Sarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome, and its association with frailty has been a focus of research. Obesity accompanied with aging is characterized by central adiposity and ectopic fat deposits. Because sarcopenia and obesity both are associated with adverse health outcomes in the elderly, sarcopenic obesity (SO), which is coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, seems to be a more serious condition because of its poor outcomes, such as higher risks of disability , cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and mortality. Because of a lack of consensus, different definitions for SO have been used in various studies . Recently, the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) declared the regional consensus guidelines for sarcopenia in the Asian elderly, and the diagnostic cutoff points for height-adjusted skeletal muscle mass measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were advocated. Since then, many researches on sarcopenia from Asian countries have been reported. However, research on SO using the AWGS consensus is lacking. In the present study, we evaluated the relationship between SO defined by the AWGS criteria and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among the Japanese elderly who underwent a comprehensive health checkup.
