Multivariate characteristic profile for non-sarcopenic and sarcopenic obese participants (n = 118; OPLS-DA CV-ANOVA P < 0.001). (a) OPLS-DA cross-validated scores (tcv [1]) that describes participant variability in the characteristic profile. (b) The characteristic profile that discriminates between non-sarcopenic and sarcopenic obese participants. The asterisk (*) represent variables that significantly (P < 0.05) discriminate between those with and without sarcopenic obesity. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. All data in the OPLS-DA models are reported as loading weight (w [1]), which describes the contribution of each listed variable (X variable) to the model
