Association between myosteatosis or sarcopenia based on abdominal CT and hypertension in systemic lupus erythematosus patients by Bowen Wang, Liping Zuo, Jinlei Fan, Wei Zhao, Yueming An, Wangshu Cai, Dexin Yu

“…Methods This was a retrospective study involving SLE patients enrolled from January 2017 to August 2023 and who underwent abdominal CT at the L3 level to track myosteatosis and sarcopenia based on the skeletal muscle mean radiodensity (SMD) and skeletal muscle index considered as binary and continuous variables. The association between these body composition measures and hypertension was tested using logistic regression analyses, while mediation modeling was used to assess the mediators. …”
