(A) Kaplan-Meier curve for the composite outcome with the log-rank test. Patients with a ≥ 52.3 cm2 decrease of fat area at T12-L1 during the first year post-diagnosis disease course were more likely to have the composite outcome than their counterparts (58.4% versus 43.9%, P = .007). (B) Kaplan Meier curve for death with the log-rank test. Patients with a ≥ 52.3 cm2 decrease in fat area at T12-L1 during the first year post-diagnosis had a higher frequency of death than those without it (58.3% versus 44.2%, P = .008)
