Serum calcium levels and the risk of sarcopenia in young adults: insights from NHANES 2011–2018
This study highlights a negative association between serum calcium and sarcopenia risk in young and middle-aged adults, suggesting that calcium interventions could be beneficial in preventing sarcopenia in this population. However, the cross-sectional design precludes any inference of causality, and further longitudinal studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
