Changes in sarcopenia and incident cardiovascular disease in prospective cohorts.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have identified sarcopenia as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, these studies primarily focused on sarcopenia status at baseline, without considering changes in sarcopenia status during follow-up. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between changes in sarcopenia status and the incidence of new-onset cardiovascular disease.

Methods

This study utilized prospective cohort data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Sarcopenia status was assessed using the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) algorithm and categorized as non-sarcopenia, possible sarcopenia, or sarcopenia. Changes in sarcopenia status were evaluated based on assessments at baseline and at the se
