As planned, we have finished reading the total of approximately 2,400 images, and cleaned the data of it. Also, we have obtained multiple measures related to glucose-insulin metabolism. Using those data, we have obtained preliminary results as follows: In a population-based samples of men aged 40years or older, 1) older individuals had lower body mass index, smaller muscle areas, but larger fat-muscle areas; 2) age and weight were the major predictors of muscle areas/mass; 3) abdominal visceral adipose tissue was most strongly correlated to glucose, triglycerides and inflammation as compared to other factors we studied.
