Participants with isolated low ASM/BMI had greater overall and central adiposity than those with isolated low ASM/height². ASM/height² was positively associated with handgrip strength (standardized β=0.262, p&lt;0.001), whereas ASM/BMI was positively associated with gait speed (standardized β=0.122, p&lt;0.001). Neither index was consistently superior across outcomes.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>AWGS 2025 broadened low muscle mass and sarcopenia classification through revised age-specific cutoffs and ASM/BMI, which identified a complementary adiposity-related phenotype.</p>","PeriodicalId":44729,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Geriatric Medicine and Research","volume":" ","pages":"400-409"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13639527/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148814438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
