At present, there is an increase prevalence of both sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. Sarcopenic obesity is a excessive build-up of adipose tissue, combined with the loss of muscle mass and strength. The goal was the study of body fat in the elderly sarcopenic obesity. During the study, which included 162 elderly people aged 65 to 74 years, (including 72 men and 90 women, the average age of the patients was 69.2 + 3.4 years), 4 observation groups were formed: 1st group included practically healthy elderly people, 2nd group included obesity, but not having sarcopenia, 3rd - elderly people, having sarcopenia, but not obesity, 4th - people who have sarcopenic obesity. The results of the study showed that the characteristics of fat in the body of people with sarcopenic obesity as a whole coincides with those of people with obesity, except for the body mass index, which was significantly less (26.2 + 3.1 kg / m2 vs. 33.1+0.7 kg / m2, p
