Sarcopenia association with physical and psychological indices in community-dwelling aged population, Birjand Longitudinal Aging Study (BLAS)
Those aged > 70, at risk of malnutrition, and having dementia had higher odds of sarcopenia. In contrast, having an educational level of a diploma or lower, ≥ one session of physical activity per week, and having hypertension showed a reverse association with sarcopenia. Findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to mitigate sarcopenia risk in aging populations.
