Abstract

Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity (SO) are increasingly prevalent among older adults and are associated with elevated mortality risk. However, the prognostic differences between these phenotypes remain unclear. This study aimed to compare five-year all-cause mortality between older adults with isolated sarcopenia and those with SO.

Research summary

The paper compares five-year all-cause mortality risk between older adults with isolated sarcopenia and those with sarcopenic obesity. This research is relevant as it addresses the impact of age-related conditions on longevity and mortality, contributing to the understanding of factors that influence aging outcomes.
