Given the limitations of body mass index, body composition evaluation using computed tomography has been increasingly used as a non\u2010invasive clinical tool with prognostic value. Another factor influencing prognosis includes sex\u2010specific differences in body composition that are seen in cirrhosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>To review current knowledge regarding the frequency and clinical implications of abnormal body composition features in cirrhosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We searched PubMed database and limited the literature search to full\u2010text papers published in English.

Other important body composition components that have been overlooked thus far include subcutaneous adipose tissue and visceral adipose tissue. Female patients with cirrhosis and low subcutaneous adiposity have a higher risk of mortality, whereas male patients with high visceral adiposity have a higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and recurrence following liver transplantation. Increased adipose tissue radiodensity has been associated with risk of decompensation and mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Further evaluation of body composition abnormalities may help with development of targeted therapeutic strategies and improve outcome in patients with cirrhosis.
