The capacity to oxidize fat (FATox) is associated with mitochondrial functionality (Blasco-Lafarga et al., 2022), so this deterioration is associated with multiple metabolic pathologies (Bhatti et al. 2017), however in obesity a paradoxical phenomenon occurs, with higher FATox values being observed, possibly due to its availability of free fatty acids and a higher concentration of intramuscular triglycerides (IMTG) (Ara et al., 2011). However, there are hardly any studies that analyze the body composition in an aging population and even less in a female sample
