Association between the coexistence of chronic kidney disease and sarcopenia with cardiovascular disease and mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sarcopenia are independently associated with adverse cardiovascular and mortality outcomes. However, the combined impact of CKD and sarcopenia remains poorly understood. To evaluate the combined effects of CKD and sarcopenia on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks in a large population-based cohort.

Methods

We analyzed data from 477,380 participants in the UK Biobank, categorized into four groups based on the presence or absence of CKD and sarcopenia: Non-CKD Non-Sarcopenia, Non-CKD Sarcopenia, CKD Non-Sarcopenia, and CKD Sarcopenia. Cox proportional hazards models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CVD and mortality outcomes. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses compared event-free survival
