Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) has a higher risk of adverse health events compared to having obesity or sarcopenia alone due to the dual burden of both muscle loss and fat gain. The prevalence of SO is progressively increasing as the population ages and the obesity epidemic progresses. Currently, there are no tools for predicting the risk of SO, and this study aimed to construct a well-performing prediction tool based on machine learning.
