aVariables presented are age, SMI, body fat percentage, ECW/TBW × 100, BMI, and bone mineral content. bAn odds ratio greater than 1.0 represents increased likelihood in the Shofuku-fujin-positive group versus the Shofuku-fujin-negative group. cStatistical significance was evaluated at  < 0.05. dThe following variables were adjusted: age, SMI, BFP, and ECW/TBW. SMI, skeletal muscle mass index (kg/m2), calculated by dividing the limb skeletal muscle mass (kg) by the square of the height (m2); ECW/TBW, extracellular water/total body water ratio; BMI, body mass index (bodyweight divided by the square of body height (kg/m2)); Sf, Shofuku-fujin
