Association between sarcopenia and kidney stones in United States adult population between 2011 and 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the relationship between kidney stones and sarcopenia in United States adult population between 2011 and 2018.

Materials and methods

We conducted a cross-section study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) including 39,156 individuals. Sarcopenia was assessed by the sarcopenia index. Association between kidney stones and sarcopenia verified by multiple logistic regression analysis and dose-response curves analysis using restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression. Meanwhile, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to exclude the effect of confounding variables.

Results

There were 9,472 participants in the study by our accurate enrollment screening process. The odds of kidney stones decreased significantly with
