Association between metabolic score for insulin resistance and prevalence of sarcopenia in US adults: A study based on NHANES 2011 to 2018.

ABSTRACT: This cross-sectional study analyzed National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2011 to 2018, focusing on individuals aged ≥20 years. The association between metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and sarcopenia was examined using weighted multivariable logistic regression, with dose-response relationships characterized by restricted cubic spline analysis. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis assessed METS-IR's ability to detect sarcopenia, with the area under the curve used for evaluation. The study included 4553 participants (mean age, 40 years; 49.4% male and 50.6% female). In the descriptive analysis, METS-IR levels in sarcopenia (mean, 52.39) were significantly higher than METS-IR levels in nons
