Associations between ASMI and body composition parameter and visual rating scale. The Partial correlation was conducted after controlling for age and sex variables. A A higher ASMI was positively correlated with higher BMI, L3 level ATI, L3 level SMI, and MSMI and negatively correlated with a higher GCA. B A higher L3SMI was positively correlated with higher MSMI. Abbreviations: ASMI, Appendicular skeletal muscle index; ATI, Adipose tissue index; BMI, Body mass index; GCA, Global cortical atrophy; L3SMI, L3 skeletal muscle index; MSMI, Masseter skeletal muscle index, SMI, Skeletal muscle mass index
