Sex differences in the association between chest computed tomography-defined sarcopenia and cardiovascular risk factors among inpatients
Our results suggest that T12-SMA/height<sup>2</sup>-defined sarcopenia was more prevalent in male patients than in female patients. Sarcopenia was associated with higher levels of SBP and HDL-C and lower levels of cholesterol. Increasing age had a more significant effect on CVD risk in male patients.
