Association between the LDL/HDL ratio and sarcopenia in Chinese community-dwelling older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The link between lipid disorders and diverse diseases is amply documented. Yet, research probing how serum lipid levels tie in with sarcopenia remains scarce. This study delves into the connection between the LDL/HDL ratio and sarcopenia among elderly Chinese people.

Methods

A total of 3,968 senior participants from Chinese communities were included in this cross-sectional study. To explore the relationship between the LDL/HDL ratio and sarcopenia, both a multivariate logistic regression model and a restricted cubic spline model were used. ROC curve analysis was employed to gauge how well the LDL/HDL ratio can detect sarcopenia.

Results

Among the participants, 780 were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Multivariable logistic regression unveiled a significant posit
