A New Index Based on Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C Can Predict the Risks of Sarcopenia, Falls and Fractures in Old Patients with Low Bone Mineral Density.

ABSTRACT: As new screening tools for sarcopenia, the serum sarcopenia index (SI) and creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR) had not been confirmd in a population with a high fragility fracture risk. This study aimed to evaluate whether SI and CCR indicators are useful for diagnosing sarcopenia and to determine their prediction values for future falls and fractures. A total of 404 hospitalized older adults were enrolled in this longitudinal follow-up study (mean age = 66.43 ± 6.80 years). The receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to assess the diagnostic accuracy of SI and CCR. Backward-selection binary logistic regression was applied to develop the optimal models for the diagnosis of new falls and fractures. SI had a significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) than CCR for predicting sarcopenia. The optimal models had acceptable discriminative powers for predicting new falls and fractures. Lower SI and CCR are the independent risks for sarcopenia, new falls, and fractures in the low-BMD population. SI and CCR, as easily accessible biochemical markers, may be useful in the detection of sarcopenia and in predicting the occurrence of new falls and fractures in patients with low BMD who have not previously experienced falls or fractures. However, further external validations are required.

Project description:BackgroundSarcopenia, characterized by loss of muscle mass and strength, has been linked to various health outcomes, including diabetes mellitus. This study aims to investigate the association of sarcopenia index, based on serum creatinine and cystatin C levels, with incident diabetes mellitus in middle-aged and older adults in China.MethodsThis study extracted data from 2015 to 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), including age ≥ 45-year adults without diabetes mellitus at baseline. Sarcopenia index was calculated based on serum creatinine and cystatin C levels, and incident diabetes mellitus was assessed through follow-up surveys. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the association between sarcopenia index and incident diabetes mellitus, adjusting for potential confounders, with hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) reported.ResultsDuring a mean follow-up period of 5.0 years, a total of 501 new cases of diabetes were recorded. A total of 7718 participants were included in the analysis. The median age was 60 years, and 46.2% were male. During a mean follow-up period of 5.0 years, 501 cases of incident diabetes mellitus were identified. After adjusting for covariates, Compared with participants in the lowest quartile, the corresponding diabetes HRs (95% CIs) for participants in the second, third, and fourth quartiles were 0.930 (95% CI 0.724-1.193; P = 0.567); 0.892 (95% CI 0.685-1.162; P = 0.398), 0.869 (95% CI 0.657-1.150; P = 0.327). Restricted cubic spline curves revealed that incident rate decreased with increase in sarcopenia index.ConclusionsThis study provides national longitudinal evidence in China on the association of sarcopenia index, based on serum creatinine and cystatin C levels, with incident diabetes mellitus in middle-aged and older adults. Our findings suggest that sarcopenia index may be a useful biomarker for predicting the risk of diabetes mellitus in this population.

Project description:BackgroundSarcopenia is an important prognostic factor of lung cancer. The serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR) and the sarcopenia index (SI, serum creatinine × cystatin C-based glomerular filtration rate) are novel screening tools for sarcopenia; however, the diagnostic accuracy of the CCR and SI for detecting sarcopenia remains unknown. We aimed to explore and validate the diagnostic values of the CCR and SI for determining sarcopenia in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to explore their prognostic values for overall survival.MethodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study of adult patients with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC. Levels of serum creatinine and cystatin C were measured to calculate the CCR and SI. Sarcopenia was defined separately using CCR, SI, and the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria. Participants were randomly sampled into derivation and validation sets (6:4 ratio). The cutoff values for diagnosing sarcopenia were determined based on the derivation set. Diagnostic accuracy was analysed in the validation set through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Cox regression models and survival curves were applied to evaluate the impact of different sarcopenia definitions on survival.ResultsWe included 579 participants (women, 35.4%; mean age, 58.4 ± 8.9 years); AWGS-defined sarcopenia was found in 19.5% of men and 10.7% of women. Both CCR and SI positively correlated with computed tomography-derived and bioimpedance-derived muscle mass and handgrip strength. The optimal cutoff values for CCR and SI were 0.623 and 54.335 in men and 0.600 and 51.742 in women, with areas under the ROC curves of 0.837 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.770-0.904] and 0.833 (95% CI: 0.765-0.901) in men (P = 0.25), and 0.808 (95% CI: 0.682-0.935) and 0.796 (95% CI: 0.668-0.924) in women (P = 0.11), respectively. The CCR achieved sensitivities and specificities of 73.0% and 93.7% in men and 85.7% and 65.7% in women, respectively; the SI achieved sensitivities and specificities of 75.7% and 86.5% in men and 92.9% and 62.9% in women, respectively. CCR-defined, SI-defined, and AWGS-defined sarcopenia were independently associated with a high mortality risk [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.25-2.44; HR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.11-2.17; and HR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.22-2.53, respectively].ConclusionsCCR and SI have satisfactory and comparable diagnostic accuracy and prognostic values for sarcopenia in patients with advanced NSCLC. Both may serve as surrogate biomarkers for evaluating sarcopenia in these patients. However, further external validations are required.
