Ratio of red blood cell distribution width to albumin level and risk of mortality in sarcopenic obesity.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between red blood cell distribution width and albumin ratio (RAR) levels and mortality in adult patients with sarcopenic obesity in the United States. The study included 1,361 adult patients with sarcopenic obesity from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2006). The X-tile was used to determine the optimal subgroup thresholds for RAR values, and propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to reduce baseline bias. Cox regression analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival curves, and restricted cubic spline analysis were utilized to assess the relationship between RAR levels and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Subgroup analysis and the Subpopulation Treatment Effect Pattern Plot were employed to determine survival
