Sarcopenia is associated with increased major adverse cardiovascular event incidence in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a prospective cohort study and mediation analysis
These results revealed that the presence of sarcopenia was associated with a higher incidence of MACE in MHD patients. The putative effects of sarcopenia on this cardiovascular endpoint are possibly not mediated by any causal pathways that include vascular calcification, inflammation, hypoalbuminemia, or vitamin D.
