Association between sarcopenia and the prevalence of gallstone in US adults: a cross-sectional analysis of NHANES
In summary, our findings suggest a positive association between sarcopenia and the prevalence of gallstones in US adults. This suggests that we should increase the emphasis on gallstone disease screening in sarcopenia patients. However, this finding needs to be validated through further large-scale prospective studies.
