Comments on “Relationship between body composition and PBRM1 mutations in clear cell renal cell carcinoma: a propensity score matching analysis”

“…As such, to contribute to the authors and journal, we outline a suggestion for novel studies, on body composition and PBRM1 mutations, and calculated the effect sizes for values significant 5 in the outcomes assessment before and after propensity score matching in patients with PBRM1 ( Table 1 ). Our suggestion to researchers and physicians is that thetissues that make up the human body center 6 , namely, the abdominal region—subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) 7 , visceral adipose tissue (VAT) 8 ; total adipose tissue (TAT) 9 , 10 , 11 , intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) 12 , 13 , 14 , low attenuation muscle area (LAMA) 15 , normal attenuation muscle area (NAMA) 16 17 , and total abdominal muscle area (TAMA) 18 19 —should be analyzed based on the patients’ stature (mean±SD). This is necessary because it is possible to observe patients with the same stature 20 , however, with different areas (cm 2 ) in the abdomen ( Figure 1 ) 21 .…”
