Association between Diurnal Temperature Range, Daily Mean Temperature and Sarcopenia States in Older Adults: Evidence from the CHARLS.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With growing concern about global climate change and its potential consequences, its health impacts have been widely studied. However, the association between temperature and sarcopenia states in Chinese older adults remains unclear. The study aimed to examine the association based on a nationally representative large-scale survey.

Methods

The study used data from three waves (2011, 2013, 2015) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) for adults aged ≥ 60 years, combined with meteorological and PM_2.5 data from the China Research Data Services (CNRDS) Platform (2011-2015). Sarcopenia states were assessed using the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria 2019 (AWGS2019). Cross-sectional analysis used generalized additive models w
