Abstract

Purpose: There is limited information on the association between smoking/smoking cessation and sarcopenia in Chinese populations. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the association between smoking/smoking cessation and its duration with the risk of sarcopenia.

Methods: This cohort included 6,719 adults over 45 from the CHARLS between 2011 and 2015. Smoking status was categorized into smokers (current smokers/quitters) and non-smokers. Duration of smoking was defined as < 20, 20-29, 30-39, and ≥ 40 years. Duration of smoking cessation was defined as ≤ 1, 2-4, and > 4 years. Sarcopenia was defined according to AWGS 2019. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratio for the risk of developing sarcopenia.

Results: The median age of the cohort was 57.0 years, and 47.0% were male. Over a 3.7-year follow-up period, 9.7% of participants developed sarcopenia. Compared to non-smokers, smokers had a higher risk of developing sarcopenia (HR: 1.27, 95% CI 1.02-1.59). Among individuals with a smoking duration exceeding 40 years, the likelihood of developing sarcopenia was 39.0% higher (HR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.08-1.79). The elevated risk persists regardless of alcohol consumption. Quitters had a lower risk of sarcopenia compared to current smokers (HR: 0.67, 95% CI 0.47-0.97). Individuals who had quit smoking for > 4 years had a lower risk of sarcopenia compared to current smokers (HR: 0.43, 95% CI 0.24-0.78).

Conclusion: Current smokers face a higher risk of sarcopenia, especially those with a prolonged smoking history. Promoting smoking cessation is an essential strategy for lowering the risk of sarcopenia and mitigating its burden among smokers.

中老年人吸烟状况与肌肉减少症之间的关系:来自CHARLS研究的发现
目的:在中国人群中,吸烟/戒烟与肌肉减少症之间的关联信息有限。我们进行了一项回顾性队列研究,以调查吸烟/戒烟及其持续时间与肌肉减少症风险之间的关系。方法:该队列包括2011年至2015年间来自CHARLS的6719名45岁以上的成年人。吸烟状况分为吸烟者(当前吸烟者/戒烟者)和非吸烟者。吸烟时间定义为4年。肌少症是根据AWGS 2019定义的。采用Cox比例风险回归模型估计发生肌肉减少症风险的风险比。结果:队列的中位年龄为57.0岁,47.0%为男性。在3.7年的随访期间,9.7%的参与者患上了肌肉减少症。与不吸烟者相比,吸烟者患肌肉减少症的风险更高(HR: 1.27, 95% CI 1.02-1.59)。在吸烟时间超过40年的个体中,发生肌肉减少症的可能性高出39.0% (HR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.08-1.79)。无论饮酒与否,这种增高的风险都会持续存在。与当前吸烟者相比,戒烟者患肌肉减少症的风险较低(HR: 0.67, 95% CI 0.47-0.97)。与目前吸烟者相比,戒烟40年以上的人患肌肉减少症的风险较低(HR: 0.43, 95% CI 0.24-0.78)。结论:当前吸烟者罹患肌肉减少症的风险较高,尤其是有长期吸烟史的吸烟者。促进戒烟是降低吸烟者肌肉减少症风险和减轻其负担的重要策略。
