The aim of this study was to provide new evidence for the association of irisin and apelin with sarcopenia in older adults. This case-control study included 80 individuals with sarcopenia and 80 individuals without sarcopenia. The definition of sarcopenia was based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. Plasma levels of irisin and apelin were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Conditional logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. The sarcopenia group exhibited significantly lower levels of irisin (73.75 ± 30.97 ng/mL vs. 131.15 ± 88.38 ng/mL, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and apelin (21.51 ± 14.89 ng/mL vs. 27.87 ± 14.41 ng/mL, <i>p</i> = 0.007) compared to the control group. Increased levels of irisin (OR, 0.98, 95% CI, 0.97-0.99) and apelin (OR, 0.97, 95% CI, 0.95-0.99) were associated with a decreased risk of sarcopenia. In women, irisin was positively associated with body mass index, intracellular water (ICW), extracellular water (ECW), total water (TW), protein, mineral, fat, fat-free mass, skeletal muscle mass (SMM), percentage body fat, waist circumference, visceral fat area, and basal metabolic rate.

Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that irisin and apelin had moderate predictive power in identifying sarcopenia. Plasma irisin and apelin were lower than in controls in elderly patients with sarcopenia, and elevated levels of irisin and apelin were associated with a reduced risk of sarcopenia.
