Cross-sectional study on the relationship between sarcopenia indicators and lung function in a community-dwelling population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With advancing age, multiple systems, including the muscular and respiratory systems, undergo degenerative changes. While the relationship between sarcopenia and lung function is well-established in patients with respiratory diseases, evidence remains limited in the general population. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia indicators and lung function in a community-dwelling population.

Methods

Basic information, laboratory biochemical parameters, handgrip strength (HGS), gait speed (GS), five times sit-to-stand test (5STS) time, skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and lung function parameters, were collected from a community-dwelling population in Beijing, China. Linear regression analysis was employed to investigate the rela
