Abstract
Objective
To explore the relationship between sarcopenia and the risks of falls, osteoporosis, fractures and all-cause mortality among elderly people.
Methods
This was a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. Databases of OVID/Medline, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Chinese WanFang Database were searched systematically according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The literatures related to the relationship between sarcopenia and falls, osteoporosis, fractures and all-cause mortality among elderly people from January 1987 to June 2017 were identified.The quality of the literature was evaluated by the risk assessment tool Newcastle-Ottawa Scale recommended by the Cochrane. Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.1 software.
Results
Totally 13 prospective cohort studies including 19 376 subjects and 3 190 outcome events were entered in meta-analysis. The relative risk (RR) for comprehensive adverse outcome events among subjects with sarcopenia was 1.64 times of non-sarcopenia subjects(95% CI=1.51-1.78, P<0.000 01), and the RRs for fall, osteoporosis, fractures and all-cause mortality were 1.60 (95% CI=1.42-1.81, P<0.000 01), 4.85 (95% CI=2.18-10.79, P=0.000 1), 1.59 (95% CI=1.40-1.80, P<0.000 01), 2.08 (95% CI=1.18-3.69, P=0.01) times of non-sarcopenia subjects respectively.
Conclusion
Sarcopenia increases the risk of falls, fractures, all-cause mortality and comprehensive adverse outcome significantly, suggesting that sarcopenia might be a predictor for adverse outcomes among elderly people.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition was founded in 1993. It is the first professional academic journal (bimonthly) in my country co-sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences to disseminate information on clinical nutrition support, nutrient metabolism, the impact of nutrition support on outcomes and "cost-effectiveness", as well as translational medicine and nutrition research. It is also a professional journal of the Chinese Medical Association's Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Branch.
The purpose of the Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition is to promote the rapid dissemination of knowledge on nutrient metabolism and the rational application of parenteral and enteral nutrition, focusing on the combination of multidisciplinary and multi-regional field investigations and clinical research. It mainly reports on nutritional risk screening related to the indications of parenteral and enteral nutrition support, "cost-effectiveness" research on nutritional drugs, consensus on clinical nutrition, guidelines, expert reviews, randomized controlled studies, cohort studies, glycoprotein and other nutrient metabolism research, systematic evaluation of clinical research, evidence-based case reports, special reviews, case reports and clinical experience exchanges, etc., and has a special column on new technologies related to the field of clinical nutrition and their clinical applications.
