Study on the association between dietary inflammatory index and sarcopenia in older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the association between the Dietary Inflammation Index (DII) and sarcopenia in older adults, providing theoretical support for clinical prevention and treatment.

Methods

Elderly individuals aged 60 years and older in Urumqi were selected. Data were collected through questionnaires and physical examinations to assess sarcopenia prevalence. Logistic regression analyzed the relationship between DII and sarcopenia. A stepwise logistic regression model incorporating age, BMI, waist circumference, DII, and PSQI total score was constructed for prediction.

Results

Each 1-unit increase in DII significantly elevated sarcopenia risk (OR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.49 to 2.73). The predictive model demonstrated good discrimination (AUC = 0.736 in training set, AUC
