Growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is associated with muscle, fat, and bone metabolism; however, this association has not been well characterized. Plasma GDF-15, appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), fat mass (FM), and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured in 146 postmenopausal women. GDF-15 levels were higher in subjects with low Body Mass Index (BMI)-adjusted ASM than in those without (median [interquartile range] 831.3 [635.4-1011.4] vs. 583.8 [455.8-771.1] pg/mL, p = 0.018). The GDF-15 level was inversely correl
