Abstract

Sarcopenia is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes, including frailty, disability, and mortality. Since the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 guidelines, which were published in 2020, are relatively new, studies on the association between sarcopenia as defined by these guidelines and mortality are limited in the Asian region. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the all-cause mortality risk associated with sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults in rural Malaysia. This cohort study included 2404 older adults residing in Kuala Pilah District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia who were followed up for 83 months. The prevalence rates of sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia were 5.0% and 3.60%, respectively. Older adults with sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia had a 114% (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.14) and 146% (HR: 2.46) increased mortality risk compared with those without sarcopenia (HR: 2.14). Our findings indicate that early intervention is recommended to prevent sarcopenia in older adults.

马来西亚农村社区老年人的 "肌肉疏松症 "与全因死亡率风险。

肌肉疏松症与多种不良健康后果有关，包括虚弱、残疾和死亡。由于亚洲肌肉疏松症工作组于 2020 年发布的 2019 年指南相对较新，因此在亚洲地区，有关该指南所定义的肌肉疏松症与死亡率之间关系的研究十分有限。因此，本研究旨在调查马来西亚农村社区老年人中与肌肉疏松症相关的全因死亡风险。这项队列研究包括 2404 名居住在马来西亚森美兰州瓜拉庇拉地区的老年人，对他们进行了长达 83 个月的跟踪调查。肌肉疏松症和严重肌肉疏松症的患病率分别为 5.0%（95% 置信区间 [CI]：4.00-5.90）和 3.60%（95% 置信区间：2.84-4.31）。与没有肌肉疏松症的老年人相比，患有肌肉疏松症和严重肌肉疏松症的老年人的死亡风险分别增加了 114% （危险比 [HR]：2.14；95% CI：1.59-2.87）和 146% （HR：2.46；95% CI：1.79-3.39）（HR：2.14；95% CI：1.59-2.87）。我们的研究结果表明，要预防老年人肌肉疏松症，建议尽早采取干预措施。
