- Abstract
As only COVID-19 patients with the availability of chest CT were included, some admitted patients with mild disease were not included. Intramuscular adipose tissue at level Th12 is associated with survival in COVID-19 As an indicator for fatty muscle degeneration, the CSA (cm SP 2 sp ) of intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) was determined by measuring fat pixels (below -29 HU) within the muscle contours. Body composition refers to the amount and distribution of skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and bone in the human body.
