After adjusting for potential confounders, older individuals with an increased body mass index (BMI) (OR=2.56, 95%\u2009CI=1.61 to 4.07) and greater muscle mass (OR=1.34, 95%\u2009CI=1.12 to 1.60) may have higher PhA values, whereas those with a greater fat mass may have lower PhA values (OR=0.61, 95%\u2009CI=0.48 to 0.78).
