Fasting Glycemia, Glycosylated Hemoglobin and Malnutrition Inflammation Are Associated With Sarcopenia in Older People With Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis Treatment: A Cross-Sectional Study
In a sample of older people with CKD who underwent hemodialysis, sarcopenia was correlated with fasting glycemia, glycosylated hemoglobin, and malnutrition inflammation. However, only fasting glycemia was found to be a significant predictor of sarcopenia. More studies are needed to determine the influence of glycemic control on sarcopenia in older people with CKD.
