The structure of skeletal muscle (SM) can be characterized by quantitative (size) and qualitative (composition) attributes, which are disparately reported to be influenced by body adiposity. This study tests the hypothesis that body adiposity exerts a systematic influence on these muscle characteristics and evaluates the possible functional implications for movements. Lower limb SM volume (VSM) and attenuation (ATTSM), an inverse measure of lipid infiltration in muscle, were determined with computed tomography in 21 men (BMI=21-36kgm(-2); age=31-71years.) and 18 women (BMI=19-35kgm(-2); age=32-76years.). After adjusting for age, a multivariate regression analysis revealed that body adiposity positively correlated (P
